Wanted!

Identify and explore a range of digital systems with peripheral devices for different purposes, and transmit different types of data

Recognise different types of data and explore how the same data can be represented in different ways

Collect, access and present different types of data using simple software to create information and solve problems

Define simple problems, and describe and follow a sequence of steps and decisions (algorithms) needed to solve them

Implement simple digital solutions as visual programs with algorithms involving branching (decisions) and user input

Explain how student solutions and existing information systems meet common personal, school or community needs

Plan, create and communicate ideas and information independently and with others, applying agreed ethical and social protocols

Examine the main components of common digital systems and how they may connect together to form networks to transmit data

Examine how whole numbers are used to represent all data in digital systems

Acquire, store and validate different types of data, and use a range of software to interpret and visualise data to create information

Define problems in terms of data and functional requirements drawing on previously solved problems

Design a user interface for a digital system

Design, modify and follow simple algorithms involving sequences of steps, branching, and iteration (repitition)

Implement digital solutions as simple visual programs involving branching, iteration (repitition)

Explain how student solutions and existing information systems are sustainable and meet current and future local community needs

Plan, create and communicate ideas and information, including collaboratively online, applying agreed ethical, social and technical protocols

Investigate how data is transmitted and secured in wired, wireless and mobile networks, and how the specifications affect performance

Investigate how digital systems represent text, image and audio data in binary

Acquire data from a range of sources and evaluate authenticity, accuracy and timeliness

Analyse and visualise data using a range of software to create information, and use structured data to model objects or events

Define and decompose realworld problems taking into account functional requirements and economic, environmental, social, technical and usability constraints

Design the user experience of a digital system, generating, evaluating and communicating alternative designs

Design algorithms represented diagrammatically and in English, and trace algorithms to predict output for a given input and to identify errors

Implement and modify programs with user interfaces involving branching, iteration and functions in a generalpurpose programming language

Evaluate how student solutions and existing information systems meet needs, are innovative, and take account of future risks and sustainability

Plan and manage projects that create and communicate ideas and information collaboratively online, taking safety and social contexts into account
