Exploring the Curriculum



Exploring the Curriculum
(Page 49)
A wide range of technologies can be easily integrated into the social sciences and humanities curriculum. In food and nutrition courses, for example, students’ learning is enhanced through the use of Canadian nutrient databases and nutrition analysis software. In fashion and housing courses, computer assisted design (CAD) software provides opportunities to enrich students’ learning. Statistical analysis software and Statistics Canada databases can be used in all courses, especially when addressing expectations related to research and inquiry. | Social Sciences and Humanities

Information and communications technologies (ICT) provide a range of tools that can significantly extend and enrich teachers’ instructional strategies and support students’ language learning. ICT tools include multimedia resources, databases, Internet websites, digital cameras, and word-processing programs. Tools such as these can help students to collect, organize, and sort the data they gather and to write, edit, and present reports on their findings. Information and communications technologies can also be used to connect students to other schools, at home and abroad, and to bring the global community into the local classroom.

Generating and Developing Ideas 1.2 generate, expand, explore, and focus ideas for potential writing tasks, using a variety of strategies and print, electronic, and other resources, as appropriate 2 in small groups, use a concept map to generate research questions for a report; interview a classmate with a different cultural background from their own for the context for a story or film script; use a personal journal to record their insights about a book in preparation for a book club discussion about it; use index cards to record their research notes and sources; search online databases to identify potential sources of information
