Students were prompted with questions about their internet usage and digital footprint. We reviewed the answers and looked at the statistics and data we had collected. Students posted any burning questions they had to Seesaw. 

I really liked how we did a provocation on Google forms because in the past provocations that I’ve done were all hands-on activities. It was interesting to see all the data and information that we received. The learning expereinces that we did were informative, fun and exciting - Adonna

During our ‘how we organise ourselves’ unit I enjoyed inquiring into how ‘humans make decisions about using digital technology in daily life’ because I learnt a lot more about technology then I knew prior to starting this unit. We learnt all about how we use technology responsibly and the consequences of misusing our tech. We also learnt about the interface and data of our own app - Izzy

App Data

Students investigated how different apps track our data and where they store it. Students discussed why it might be important to know where an app keeps our data. Why it is important to know what data our apps are tracking. 

Network Map

Students inquired into the different digital connections we have here at school and at home. Students had to investigate how different devices were connected to each other both physically and wirelessly. 

Apps I Use

Students investigated apps that they used regularly that track information. They looked at how the app is designed, its User Interface and how it displays tracked data.

Big Data  

Students were tasked with designing their own app and tracking device. They had to think innovatively about what information they would track. Students had to design the User Interface for their app as well as decide what would be the ebay way to display the recorded data. 

I enjoyed making an app and using different ways of presenting it. As soon as the task was assigned I knew it would be fun and enjoyable. We got to choose an item and make it track something. I chose a pencil, it tracked what you spelt wrong and right. It also tracked how much you write. I loved this unit and I hope we do it next yeaR - Adelaide

I really enjoyed making an app prototype. It was really fun making the buttons on the app really work. It took a really long time to finish but when I did I couldn’t be prouder. My app was about a tracker on your shoes that tells you where you walked, how many steps you do in a day and a month. It also told you your average steps. This unit was incredibly fun and I hope to do something similar in the near future - Tim

Humans make decisions about using digital technologies in daily life
In this unit of inquiry, we discovered how people use technology in good and bad ways. At the start of the unit, we did a survey so the teachers could see what we do on social media.
At the end, we saw the results and they were interesting because seeing what people do and if they have social media and if they have posted anything so far.
We also made our own app which allowed us to make it about something that we were passionate about or that we were interested in. There were many different types of apps that made it interesting and to see what people wanted to do. We had a specific process that we had to do it in. We looked at some people’s from the years that they had done it and saw their process - Fleur

During this unit of inquiry, we learnt about how humans make decisions about using digital technology in daily life. This unit involved many things starting with a provocation which was a survey about how we use digital technology in our life and outside of school. We did many different activities such as showing people how to use an app and researching what type of security different apps have.
As our end of the unit assessment, we had to make an app that collected data from a
wearable device. I thought this was fun and challenging because we got to use our creativity to design a prototype that we were interested in - Darcy
