Go Facts: Digital Technologies integrates reading and writing with the study of computer science, computational thinking and design. These downloadable PDF resources are ideal for teaching of Australian Curriculum: Technologies.

This teaching guide includes teaching notes and student work sheets for all 12 Go Facts: Digital Technologies titles, spanning Lower, Middle and Upper primary levels. The guides' activities encourage students to think about important issues and to be creative and innovative.

This resource takes readers on a walk through topics such as computers, living digital, think like a computer, coding, robotics, and many more!

Reading the Nonfiction Text

Reading activities are suitable for the whole class or small groups and fit easily into the guided reading component of a literacy program. You introduce the text before students read independently.

Writing the Nonfiction Text

Daily writing is as important as daily reading. Students learn to use the structures modelled in the Go Facts resources in their own writing. 

Assessment

The lesson work sheets provide opportunities for informal assessment throughout the lessons. Use the Assessment Checklists at the back of this guide to gauge student progress.
