This Design and technology scheme of work video introduces teachers to the digital revolution as a key moment in design history, equipping them with the knowledge to help the children explore how technology has evolved from mechanical and analogue to digital forms. It explains the visual and functional differences between product types, introduces accessible definitions and supports analysis of wearable technology, from smartwatches to historical examples such as glasses. Teachers are guided in helping the children recognise how innovation and collaboration have shaped the modern tech landscape.

This video simplifies complex technological changes and builds teacher confidence to guide the children in understanding how design responds to human needs in the lesson and unit below.
