Program of Studies
ICT - Kindergarten to Grade 12
The Alberta ICT program of studies emphasizes technology as a ‘way of doing things’ – the processes, tools and techniques that alter human activity. As a curriculum it specifies what students from Kindergarten to grade 12 are expected to know, be able to do, and be like with respect to technology. This ICT curriculum provides a broad perspective on the nature of technology, how to use and apply a variety of technologies, and the impact on self and society.
As technology is best learned within the context of applications, activities, projects, and problems that replicate real-life situations, the ICT program of studies is structured as a ‘curriculum within a curriculum’, using the core subjects of English Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies as a base.
