Ministry Curriculum

Overview

Communications technology affects all aspects of our lives, from work to leisure. It extends our ability to communicate and is an important part of being technologically literate. These courses will provide students with opportunities to acquire the knowledge and skills required to design, use, and manage electronic, live, recorded, and graphic communications systems. They will help students understand the role of communications technology in our economy; its relationship with other economic sectors; and its effect on people, society, and the environment. Students will also examine standards and regulations, health and safety issues, careers, and the importance of lifelong learning. For essential information on policy regarding multiple-credit courses and courses with particular areas of emphasis, see pages 6 -7 of this document.
