Students consider the development of technology and how things ​have changed over time. Students investigate technological ​developments on a global level, considering how technology has ​changed in the world.

Lessons show cross-curriculum links in history, geography and ​mathematics as students focus on past and present forms of ​technology. How technology is used around the world, if we all use the ​same technology. Students will use timelines and look at how distance ​can influence how we get information.

Students will be influenced to think about what technology they use ​and how and where they use it, and to compare their use of

technology with others. To think how technology has advanced over ​time and how it will continue to change.

Students must understand how society is impacted by technology and ​how it connects to science. Investigating this topic will help students ​gain a better understanding of how society is changing and how ​technology is affecting how we live. Kids' critical thinking skills will ​advance as they consider the ethical implications of technology use.

Students focus on how technology has changed the way businesses ​operate. From the way businesses communicate with customers and ​clients to the way they market and sell their products and services, ​technology has had a huge impact on the business world. Throughout ​this unit, students will be comparing how businesses used to run and ​how they operate now based on the advances in technology.

In the past, face-to-face meetings, phone calls, or written ​correspondence like letters and faxes were the main ways that ​businesses would connect with their consumers and clients. ​Technology has enabled companies to reach a much bigger ​audience than ever before through the use of digital ​communication such as social media, email, instant messaging, ​and video conferencing.

The way companies advertise their goods and services has also ​altered because of technology. To reach their target audiences ​in the past, businesses mostly used print media, like newspapers ​and magazines.

Today, however, businesses have access to a wide range of ​digital marketing techniques, including as search engine ​optimisation, pay-per-click advertising, social media marketing, ​and content marketing, to reach their target consumers, this is ​not only more efficient, it is also more cost-effective.

Technology has also had a big impact on the sales process. In ​the past, businesses would sell their products and services ​through stores or door-to-door salespeople.

Today, however, businesses can sell their products and services ​online through platforms such as Amazon and eBay. This shift to ​online selling has made it easier for businesses to reach a

global audience and to sell their products and services anytime.
