Level 3 Digital Technology
Course Description
In Level 3 Digital studies/P-TECH programme, students are given the opportunity to either improve upon the skills they developed in Level 2 or try their hand at producing a different media outcome. Outcomes you can be taught to create are: game design, developing computer programs, website development or mobile app development. At the same time, they will be taught how to conduct inquiries critically online and how to use the information they have collected to answer complex research questions, a skill important to any career path students may walk. Using the inquiry they conducted, students will identify a problem they would like to address and develop a digital media outcome to solve said problem.
Students will be attending Manukau Institute of Technology one day a week to complete a Level 4 Certificate in Year 13.
