EDUC3221 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Australian Curriculum
Document Summary
Lecture three: ste(a)m education & linking science to stem. Use study groups to facilitate discussion around stem. Relate design technology and science using scsa. Browse design briefs and create a design brief as a group. Use some time for lesson demonstration prep.

Provides an excellent context for learning and teaching design technologies. Some of the newer aligned pc units integrate design technology throughout. Today, we will focus on the design brief part within the engage phase. Design brief is part of your fpd assessment.
