1. What ‘Adelaideans’ think about technologies
Video (2.41 mins)
Teachers, students and community members talk about what they think technologies are for.
This video clip promotes discussions to reflect on what we believe technologies are for and what we want our students to take forward into their lives from it. We call this the essence of the learning area.
