Education Minister Stephen Lecce says the changes will give students experience with new technology, expose them to real-life problem solving and prepare them for the job market.
The government says the updated computer studies curriculum will start with a new Grade 10 course in September and will give students the opportunity to apply coding concepts, build hands-on projects, and investigate artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and emerging technologies. The technological education curriculum updates are set to start with revised Grade 9 and 10 courses in September 2024.
The government says the updates will reflect automation advancements in agriculture, manufacturing, and construction, and the new course material will prepare students for careers as electricians and plumbers and in communications and manufacturing. Ontario last updated the technological education curriculum in 2009 and the computer science curriculum was last updated in 2008.
This is going to need to come with funding! Hands on projects and learning comes with material costs, working computers and equipment and proper software.
The TDSB Is D streaming English and math in grade 9 and 10. This means students of all abilities are in the same class. Some won’t be able to perform, others will be bored, classroom management becomes more difficult, and learning becomes sub par
Apparently all of our real world applications haven’t been noticed by Lecce who seems to think this is new 🤥
Not your best selfie eh Sflecce?! That's got to suck!
Onted is in such a short supply of Tech teachers that by the time this curriculum rolls out, a lot of tech programs will be closed due to lack of qualified staff.
Computers and tech is a fad. Just like email….
We have 5 devices for 27 + kids in classes. Spotty internet. We need the tools to learn, not a new curriculum.
At the same time they’re no longer finding computer labs for schools. Great. Lol.
This needs to happen in elementary school. Gr 10 is too late
Curriculum is always updated on a cyclical basis, with or without Lecce, he doesn’t have to “announce” it every time. My gr 10 is currently taking computer science and *gasp* it includes “hands on learning” and “coding”. What MOE can do is invest in updated technology for all
He must be getting ready to do something awful, create a distraction
Doug Ford using his computer and technology.
They better update the technology in schools then
Financial literacy?
Our five and six year olds are already learning these things. Get with the times, Lecce. You’re a disservice to our youth.
Why does everything need to be a full-blown announcement? (I actually blame parents for that.) We get it, you’re looking for recognition, great job. There you go now just make changes, do better, and put things in place that equip our children.
🤦♀️
Let's hope that the rollout will be better planned and more effective than the sex ed and math messes.
So now the slave auctioneer is making announcements magellanaero. VictorFedeli Do you want me to prove to you that this is not and Ontario company as you tried to make it look? Sflecce
Update it to include how to pay taxes and other essential things
Should also add how rigged this World Cup was to the history curriculum
