Tech 9
Technology education is a design problem-solving course. Technology education is designed for all students in grades 9. Since the technology education facilities and resources vary throughout the province, the course is designed to offer some selection to schools as to the modules of study. Technology education is not a computer course, nor is it a wood-working course, but rather it is a course in which computers and all other equipment play a part in solving problems related to design. It is important to note that the use of the computer for this course is not to be confused with technology integration applications or data processing, but rather it is used for design and new media engineering to support a variety of processes.
