Cisco GPS - Using Technology for Good

Students explore the role of technology in developing solutions to real world problems. They begin by exploring what is meant by the term ‘technology’. They then look at how technology is used in the real-world problem presented in the Global Problem Solvers series. They analyse this technology, recognising a range of challenges to using it, including social and environmental challenges. Students are then asked to develop their own technological solutions to the GPS broken well problem and to create a technical drawing to present and share their ideas. Finally, students reflect on the value of testing and retesting ideas to ensure successful solutions to real world problems.
