Abstract
ACARA has told us that "Australia needs enterprising individuals who can make discerning decisions about the development and use of technologies and who can independently and collaboratively develop solutions to complex challenges and contribute to sustainable patterns of living" (20 15). With this in mind, we're being pushed as educators to adapt our pedagogical teachings to new advances in the curriculum so that we foster a generation of enterprising individuals. Yet, 'adapting' and 'seeing the value' are two very different things. This article will discuss the new advances to the curriculum, specifically with regards to technology, in relation to my experience running a program at a Sydney Catholic Primary school. The program showed me a lot about the current need for educators to adapt and understand the value to the new advances in the curriculum.
