Case studies
We are preparing to close this site soon as this content has now moved to Tāhūrangi.
Tāhūrangi is the new online curriculum hub for Te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga | Ministry of Education.
The case studies are divided into two main areas:
Classroom practice - these provide examples of how teachers from a range of schools have planned and implemented quality technology units. They include projects from year 1 to year 13.
Technologists' practice - these are excellent classroom resources for teachers to use as examples of products, processes, and problem solving in technological practice – celebrating innovation.
