Learning Advanced Skills

If this is your first year doing a Digital Technologies project, you may wish to go and work through the Level 1 skills for your chosen area first. 

In your second year, you’ll build on the foundations you developed last year by strengthening the advanced skills needed for your chosen outcome — planning and managing a workflow, creating and integrating original assets, developing functionality and interaction, refining design choices for usability and audience needs, and testing, troubleshooting, and iterating to improve quality. 

Below are resources to help you get started with some of these advanced skills across a range of outcome types. Remember, like any craft, improvement comes from deliberate practice — the more you make, test, iterate, and solve problems, the more confident and capable you’ll become.

YOUR CHOICE

You are going to spend half of Term 1 working through a variety of tasks and tutorials to hopefully develop your skill level further, and help you make decisions later on about what sort of project you want to spend the rest of the year on.
