Foundation Technologies Planning Checklists are a practical and flexible tool designed to support teachers in planning, tracking and programming Technologies learning experiences throughout the year.

Perfect for Foundation teachers, this resource includes three editable planning checklists that give you the flexibility to organise your teaching in a way that suits your unique classroom context.
