There is strong focus on developing students' understanding of Literacy, Aboriginal Education, Multiculturalism and Civics and Citizenship Education. The unit examines how teachers can implement technology into their classroom practice to develop historical skills and understandings. It will examine different approaches to programming and lesson planning and develop students' awareness of the professional role of a teacher.
