Elaboration ACTDIK015
recognising that digital systems represent all types of data using number codes that ultimately are patterns of 1s and 0s (called binary digits, which is why they are called digital systems)

Elaboration (4) ACTDIP016
acquiring data from online sources by narrowing the focus, for example filtering data using provided options or performing queries using advanced search functions
Elaboration (4) | ACTDIP016 | Content Descriptions | Years 5 and 6 | Digital Technologies | Technologies | F-10 curriculum
Elaboration (1) ACTDIP021
explaining why people interact so readily with touch systems, for example touch input requires less dexterity to issue instructions and is designed to be accessible to users through the use of icons
