In 1995 the first Technology Curriculum was launched.

Each of the seven learning areas had a curriculum in the form of a book of various colours. The technology curriculum was brown in colour and quickly and affectionately became known as the 'chocky docky'.

With many teacher PLD courses giving out chocolate when first introducing and explaining the curriculum and its technology content.

In 2007 the 'new' technology curriculum. was launched.  (an entire booklet of all learning areas/subjects) is online but if you would like to have the printed version you can get it free from 'Down the Back of the Chair.' (this is the MoE site where you can get printed versions of many teaching resources).

At the back of the 2007 curriculum there were flipout pages for each level listing the achievement objectives for all 7 learning areas (as shown in the photos below). Support material was also created.

This is a fabulous link to documents which explain each of the strands, and components.  If however you feel a little overwhelmed about all the MoE Curriculum overview   (1 page) and guidance  information (first 2-3 pages key).

In 2017 the Technology Curriculum was revised.  The technological areas were changed with the inclusion of two digital-related areas.  Click here to read more about the justification for the inclusion of digital technologies. This was the only learning area to be altered. This revision was only published online, and support material was developed.
