Design, Creativity and Technology
[|Concept and Skills Chart from VCAA]

Thinking Processes: Creativity
At Level 4, students use [|creative thinking] strategies to generate imaginative solutions when solving problems. They demonstrate creativity in their thinking in a range of contexts and test the possibilities of concrete and [|abstract] ideas generated by themselves and others.

ICT: ICT for creating
At Level 4, students safely and independently use a range of skills, procedures, equipment and functions to process different data types and produce accurate and suitably formatted products to suit different purposes and audiences. They use design tools to represent how solutions will be produced and the layout of information products. Students select relevant techniques for minimising the time taken to process data, and apply conventions and techniques that improve the appearance of the finished product. Students modify products on an ongoing basis in order to improve meaning and judge their products against agreed criteria.
