Case Study BP618: Partnering Graphics with Technology


Classroom Practice Case Study Sept 2008 / Updated Aug 2009
Graphics and TECHNOLOGY Year 11

Partnering Graphics with Technology

Partnering Graphics with Technology

Teachers at Lytton High School planned this unit as an opportunity to introduce Technology achievement standards into their Year 11 Graphics course. They hoped that success in gaining NCEA credits would encourage students to continue with Graphics the following year, and to take Technology as a second option.

Focus points include:
  • Client interaction – using a local enterprise as the client for whole class activity
  • Developing graphics skills within technological practice
  • Functional modelling – using mock-ups to explain and test design ideas
