Welcome to Grade 10 Broad Based Technology
Broad-Based Technology Education is an approach to Technology Education, which serves to reinforce and broaden student understanding of general technological knowledge, skills and attitudes. The purpose of Broad-based Technology Education is for students to explore a comprehensive range of relevant career opportunities as well as developing an understanding of a variety of technology options and applications. The expanded learning opportunities of the BBT program allows students to practice many essential work place skills including: communication, collaboration, cooperation, creative and innovative problem solving, logical thinking, and self motivated independent learning skills.
The outcomes of BBT are met through modular study, project-based learning and problem solving exploration. The program also includes allowances for individual learning differences, with a variety of instructional, assessment and evaluation strategies. The inclusion of this dimension emphasizes more responsibility for the learning by the learner.
The modules that are listed on the following pages are a few of the modules being offered in our Grade 10 BBT program. We begin the semester by introducing Microsoft Word as this is a piece of software that the students will use many times throughout their high school career in a variety of courses. Each learning module (10 - 15 days in duration) provides the students with the opportunity to gain experience in a variety of areas of study that will benefit them as they move through their high school career and beyond. Each teacher may be able to provide the students with different learning opportunities depending on the availability of the Innovation Lab or some of the workshops.
