Year 7 Design Technology 

How will emerging technologies impact on the future design of learning spaces?

by Jen Buchanan, teacher of Design Technology

The idea of a 'traditional school' is quickly changing. In Year 7 Design Technology, students have been asked to consider the implications of emerging technologies within the context of designing future learning spaces.

Students were given scope to explore the question, How will emerging technologies impact on the future design of learning spaces?

Ophelia and Alia investigated Augmented Reality (AR) as a platform to show their work. AR is a type of interactive, reality-based display environment that takes the capabilities of computer generated display, sound, text and effects to enhance the user's real-world experience.

To immerse yourself in their work and view the animations Ophelia and Alia have made, please download the app “Artivive” and view the images below on your device. Wait a few moments for the magic to appear on your screen… you’ll be amazed at what these students have accomplished!
