ACARA sample assessment task (3-4)

This sample assessment task has been prepared to assist teachers with the implementation of the Australian Curriculum: Digital Technologies V8.4, with a particular focus on data. It shows how aspects of the Digital Technologies curriculum related to data can be assessed using contexts from other learning areas and subjects. These contexts may be content that students have recently completed or are learning concurrently. This approach should enhance the manageability of the curriculum while still providing a targeted focus on Digital Technologies.

Note teachers may adapt this task for Australian Curriculum: Digital Technologies V9.0.
