My name is Shannon McClure. I am in my final year of my Bachelor of Education degree. I have compiled a publicly accessible collection of online resources relevant to classroom implementation of the Australian Curriculum: Technologies in order to fulfill the requirements of my course titled EDP4130 - Technology curriculum and pedagogy. The resources make use of technologies and other key concepts in the technologies curriculum to help support the implementation of the Australian Curriculum: Geography.
Using the Australian Curriculum: Technologies to help teach geography in our schools. The Australian Curriculum v6.0 Technologies: Technologies. Technologies Rationale Technologies enrich and impact on the lives of people and societies globally.
Australia needs enterprising individuals who can make discerning decisions about the development and use of technologies and who can independently and collaboratively develop solutions to complex challenges and contribute to sustainable patterns of living. Technologies can play an important role in transforming, restoring and sustaining societies and natural, managed, and constructed environments. The Australian Curriculum: Technologies describes two distinct but related subjects: Design and Technologies, in which students use design thinking and technologies to generate and produce designed solutions for authentic needs and opportunities.
The Australian Curriculum: Technologies will ensure that all students benefit from learning about and working with traditional, contemporary and emerging technologies that shape the world in which we live.

Following the recent publication of the first-ever Australia Curriculum: Geography for F–12, primary school teachers are expected to play the key role in implementing the curriculum in Australian schools – yet most primary teachers are not geography scholars, and many are likely to lack confidence in teaching the subject due to their uncertainty about what it entails.

Australian Geography Teachers Association. The Australian Curriculum v6.0 Geography: Rationale. Rationale Geography is a structured way of exploring, analysing and understanding the characteristics of the places that make up our world, using the concepts of place, space, environment, interconnection, sustainability, scale and change.
It addresses scales from the personal to the global and time periods from a few years to thousands of years. Geography integrates knowledge from the natural sciences, social sciences and humanities to build a holistic understanding of the world. Students learn to question why the world is the way it is, reflect on their relationships with and responsibilities for that world, and propose actions designed to shape a socially just and sustainable future.
