How This Course Supports the Ontario Catholic School Graduate
Expectations
The role of Technological Education in the Catholic faith community
is to enable students to develop and utilize their gifts and
talents while creating products that benefit others in a way
that models gospel values. The focus of the curriculum is to
enable students to become critical and innovative problem-solvers
who question the use of resources and understand the implications
of technological innovations. An emphasis on process as well
as results ensures that students create products and provide
services that recognize our God-given responsibility to respect
the dignity and value of the individual and the community. |

Mr. Fazzalari
Technology
We live in a technological world…every aspect of our lives is affected by technology. Everyone and everything depends on the skilled people who design, develop, maintain and operate the infrastructure of our society. Did you arrive somewhere today by a vehicle of some sort? Did you eat lately? Watch TV? Check out the Internet? Get a haircut? Use a stove, a chair, a computer, a spoon, shampoo, electricity? Then you have been affected by technology, and the people who made it all possible.
Technology, and technological education, is the application of science, math, social studies and the creative arts. An education system that does not value applied technical literacy is unacceptable in today's world. An education system that does not encourage youth to design, build things, use tools, problem solve, think critically and explore is a disservice to all citizens in our society. |
