1DM - Level 1 Digital Media

Students will design and create digital technologies outcomes that are made by people, for people, within cultural, social, and environmental contexts that embody whanaungatanga. Students will learn basic design principles as they create digital media outcomes. This will incorporate conceptual design, brief development and prototyping to meet an identified need. They will gain experience using industry-ready software including the Adobe Creative Suite, and will explore the topic of usability heuristics in human-computer interfaces. Students will learn to be innovative, reflective and critical in their development process while producing one or two major Digital Media projects. 

NB: This course uses 2 of the 3 Achievement Standards as Level 1 Computer Science so students will only be able to choose one of the two Digital Technologies options.
