Ubiquitous Technology, Learning continuity
Our aim is the democratization of education through equal and ubiquitous digital learning tools for all children and staff at BPS.
“In a world that is increasingly digitised and automated, it is critical to the wellbeing and sustainability of the economy, the environment and society, that the benefits of information systems are exploited ethically. This requires deep knowledge and understanding of digital systems (a component of an information system) and how to manage risks. Ubiquitous digital systems such as mobile and desktop devices and networks are transforming learning, recreational activities, home life and work. Digital systems support new ways of collaborating and communicating, and require new skills such as computational and systems thinking. These technologies are an essential problem-solving toolset in our knowledge-based society.”

In addition to the overarching aims for the Australian Curriculum @ BPS: Our Technology and Digital Technology focus more specifically aims to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills to ensure that, individually and collaboratively, BPS students:
design, create, manage and evaluate sustainable and innovative digital solutions to meet and redefine current and future needs
use computational thinking and the key concepts of abstraction; data collection, representation and interpretation; specification, algorithms and implementation to create digital solutions
confidently use digital systems to efficiently and effectively automate the transformation of data into information and to creatively communicate ideas in a range of settings
apply protocols and legal practices that support safe, ethical and respectful communications and collaboration with known and unknown audiences
apply systems thinking to monitor, analyse, predict and shape the interactions within and between information systems and the impact of these systems on individuals, societies, economies and environments.
