MYP Technology Requirements: Course Hours
Minimum 50 hours/year per subject for all students in Years 1 –5
** Due to some academic requirements, some students are not in a Design course, but will be exposed to Design Technology through integration. **
Our Model for MYP Technology Instruction
Computer Technology + Design Technology =
Combined Technology
At Canadian Academy: Hybrid Approach
Design Technology Course – (35 hours) in Once per week Grades 6 –8
Integrated Projects (minimum 15 hours)Integrated into other MYP subjects in Grades
6 – 8
MYP (Design)Technology Vs. Technology (ICT)
Technology is an MYP subjectUses the design cycle as a model for thinkingStudents are expected to solve problems Focus on the whole design process rather than the product
ICT (Information Communication Technology) integrated in all classesTeaching of skills such as: researching (accessing
information), word processing, creating presentations, video editing, etc.
Using the Design Cycle as an Approach to Learning
INVESTIGATE
DESIGN
PLAN
CREATE
EVALUATE
Example Problem:
Guided – How can I create a fast solar powered car out of recycled materials?
Open– How can I organize myself better?
