Note: Alberta Education has developed the ICT program with student outcomes for Grades 3, 6, 9, 12. Teachers need a k-12 scope and sequence to assist them in implementation of the program at their grade level. Alberta Education has contracted a number of school jurisdictions to develop sample k-12 outcome scope and sequences for use by all school jurisdictions. These are to be done by June 2000.
