Integrated unit plans
These integrated teaching unit exemplars illustrate how Technology and other learning areas can mutually co-exist and be taught authentically under The 2007 New Zealand Curriculum.
They were produced by small groups of enthusiastic teachers working collaboratively with technology advisors at workshops in late 2009/early 2010 with the aim of sharing how learning activities from a range of learning areas can be embedded into teaching units/programmes.
