This is our flatgame

Explore and describe a range of digital systems and their peripherals for a variety of purposes

Explore transmitting different types of data between digital systems

Recognise different types of data and explore how the same data can be represented differently depending on the purpose

Define problems with given design criteria and by co-creating user stories

Follow and describe algorithms involving sequencing, comparison operators (branching) and iteration

Generate, communicate and compare designs

Implement simple algorithms as visual programs involving control structures and input

Discuss how existing and student solutions satisfy the design criteria and user stories

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

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

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

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

Investigate the main internal components of common digital systems and their function

Examine how digital systems form networks to transmit data

Explain how digital systems represent all data using numbers

Explore how data can be represented by off and on states (zeros and ones in binary)

Define problems with given or co‑developed design criteria and by creating user stories

Design algorithms involving multiple alternatives (branching) and iteration

Design a user interface for a digital system

Generate, modify, communicate and evaluate designs

Implement algorithms as visual programs involving control structures, variables and input

Evaluate existing and student solutions against the design criteria and user stories and their broader community impact

Select and use appropriate digital tools effectively to create, locate and communicate content, applying common conventions

Select and use appropriate digital tools effectively to share content online, plan tasks and collaborate on projects, demonstrating agreed behaviours

Access multiple personal accounts using unique passphrases and explain the risks of password re-use

Explain the creation and permanence of their digital footprint and consider privacy when collecting user data
