Curriculum Philosophy
Digital Literacy & Computational Thinking affirms that technology is a tool for creativity, equity, and civic agency. This course empowers Grade 11–12 learners—especially those navigating displacement or digital exclusion—to explore systems of information, design, and logic through trauma-informed, multilingual, and project-based instruction. Students build fluency in ethical technology use, data reasoning, and algorithmic thinking while designing solutions that serve community needs.
What’s Distinct About This Course?
- Strand-Integrated Design:
Aligns with GlobalCore Appendices J (Digital Literacy & Computational Thinking), E (Global Competencies), F (Creative & Expressive Arts), and H (Mindful Practice)
- Accelerated Pacing:
10-unit structure designed for full credit completion within a 10–12 month diploma pathway
- Multilingual & Inclusive:
Vocabulary banks, translation spaces, and flexible artifact formats (oral, visual, written)
- Restorative Pedagogy:
Emphasizes ethical reasoning, redesign, and digital
dignity
- Portfolio-Based
Assessment:
Each unit culminates in a learner-created artifact that demonstrates mastery across strands
