use the core features of common digital tools to create, locate and communicate content, following agreed conventions

AC9TDI4P07

use the core features of common digital tools to share content, plan tasks, and collaborate, following agreed behaviours, supported by trusted adults

AC9TDI4P08

access their school account using a memorised password and explain why it should be easy to remember, but hard for others to guess

AC9TDI4P09

identify what personal data is stored and shared in their online accounts and discuss any associated risks

The same idea, year by year

Where AC9TDI4P01 comes from and where it goes, for a student working below or above Years 3 and 4.

  1. Years 1 and 2AC9TDI2P01investigate simple problems for known users that can be solved with digital systems
  2. Years 1 and 2AC9TDI2P02follow and describe algorithms involving a sequence of steps, branching (decisions) and iteration (repetition)
  3. Years 1 and 2AC9TDI2P03discuss how existing digital systems satisfy identified needs for known users
  4. Years 1 and 2AC9TDI2P04use the basic features of common digital tools to create, locate and communicate content
  5. Years 1 and 2AC9TDI2P05use the basic features of common digital tools to share content and collaborate demonstrating agreed behaviours, guided by trusted adults
  6. Years 1 and 2AC9TDI2P06access their school account with a recorded username and password
  7. Years 1 and 2AC9TDI2P07discuss that some websites and apps store their personal data online
  8. Years 5 and 6AC9TDI6P01define problems with given or co-developed design criteria and by creating user stories
  9. Years 5 and 6AC9TDI6P02design algorithms involving multiple alternatives (branching) and iteration
  10. Years 5 and 6AC9TDI6P03design a user interface for a digital system
  11. Years 5 and 6AC9TDI6P04generate, modify, communicate and evaluate designs
  12. Years 5 and 6AC9TDI6P05implement algorithms as visual programs involving control structures, variables and input
  13. Years 5 and 6AC9TDI6P06evaluate existing and student solutions against the design criteria and user stories and their broader community impact
  14. Years 5 and 6AC9TDI6P07select and use appropriate digital tools effectively to create, locate and communicate content, applying common conventions
  15. Years 5 and 6AC9TDI6P08select and use appropriate digital tools effectively to share content online, plan tasks and collaborate on projects, demonstrating agreed behaviours
  16. Years 5 and 6AC9TDI6P09access multiple personal accounts using unique passphrases and explain the risks of password re-use
  17. Years 5 and 6AC9TDI6P10explain the creation and permanence of their digital footprint and consider privacy when collecting user data
