Information Technology<\/h1><\/div>

Technology literacy is a skill set that is in high demand in our global community. The three uses of information technology in a modern society are information technology (electronic resources), communication technology (telecommunication), and processing technology (software that help us do better, faster work). Technology is a tool and not an answer in and of itself. It should seen as a learning tool that students learn with, not from. <\/span><\/p>\n

In preparing for the world outside of school, ICT students are posed real problems with real world connections. ICT classes are set up with project-based multimedia assignments that allow for real problems that seek to connect students\u2019 work in school with the wider world in which the students live. It allows for student decision making, involves collaboration with others (students, community), and encompasses a full range of assessment, not just the final product. More importantly, it attempts to synthesize concepts from other courses. Come see what exciting opportunities await \u00a0in the world of Information and Communications Technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 9:ITC DESIGN YEAR 4<\/b><\/p>\n

(MADIT09-IB)<\/span><\/p>\n

Information Technology 9 is a 37 weeks (120-hour) course used to develop basic cross\u00a0curricular computing skills. The class focuses on these big ideas (social, ethical, and\u00a0sustainability considerations impact design; complex tasks require the sequencing of\u00a0skills; complex tasks require different technologies and tools at different stages). The\u00a0curricular competencies will focus on the design cycle (understanding context, defining,\u00a0ideating, proto-typing, testing, making, and sharing). The design cycle will focus on\u00a0applied design, applied skills, and applied technologies.<\/p>\n
