Technology capability

Technology is about meeting human needs through the creative process of designing and making.
Technology capability is acquired through the two profile components of design and technology and information technology. If students are to fully develop this capability, technology requires an overt input from five distinct subject areas: art and design, business studies, craft design and technology (CDT), home economics and information technology. It is essential that these subjects form a collegiate working relationship to plan, organise and deliver a technology curriculum unified by the design process. In this way, we can deliver technology capability in an effective manner as well as capitalise upon the breadth of professional expertise present within schools.
