Weaving Learning and Digital Technologies at New Zealand Museums
Fagan, Tara
Childhood Education, v99 n1 p24-31 2023
As schools collaborate with other educational and cultural institutions, students, families, and teachers benefit from expanded learning experiences. In 2020, digital technology learning was added to the New Zealand school curriculum so that every student, beginning at five years of age, would develop an understanding of computational thinking and digital devices. This was a new curriculum area and many teachers still needed to learn about it themselves in order to teach it. As part of their support for teachers, the New Zealand Ministry of Education provided a range of professional learning opportunities. One of these was an equity fund for students from low socio-economic communities to help them learn and engage with a range of digital technologies. This articles examines a program by the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa (Te Papa) and its five partner museums and galleries provided engaging and learning experiences for students and to support teachers in understanding the specifics of the curriculum.
