Abstract

The release of a brand new curriculum containing, for the first time, a subject dedicated to Digital Technologies, provided the impetus for a small project that investigated school and teacher readiness for such a new initiative and the capacity of schools and teachers to understand and implement this curriculum. Through this project three approaches to curriculum implementation were identified and are presented in this paper. The project showed that when supported by a critical friend, teachers developed units of work that are appropriate and, at times, innovative responses to the curriculum and its intentions.
