Introduction

The Design and Technology Association has developed this website to enable you to develop innovative and irresistable approaches to the teaching and learning of electronic product design within design and technology. Note that you can use this approach in other focus areas.

The website has been designed so that you can use rich starting points to develop appropriate design briefs for your pupils and provide necessary knowledge, skills and understanding through focused tasks so that pupils can make a wide range of design decisions. As pupils move through the curriculum you have designed you can ensure that it makes increasing demand by auditing both the curriculum intention and pupil response against the features of progression.  NB. The features of progression are a work in progress and your feedback of pupils work will help refine them.

The website also contains opportunities for product evaluation through which pupils can develop designerly insight.
