BC Education - Curriculum Branch Information Technology Information technology is the use of tools and electronic devices that allow us to create, explore, transform, and express information. As Canada moves from an agricultural and industrial economy to the information age, students must develop new knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The information technology curriculum has been developed to be integrated into all new curricula to ensure that students know how to use computers and gain the technological literacy demanded in the workplace. In learning about information technology, students acquire skills in information analysis and evaluation, word processing, database analysis, information management, graphics, and multimedia applications.
Students also identify ethical and social issues arising from the use of information technology.
