Education and Work

Technology has increased its presence worldwide, whether inside schools or everyday workplaces. In schools, technology is key to creating more interactive and engaging lessons, and providing a vast array of resources all in one place. Remote learning, team projects, educational games, and projects have all become more virtual as society continues to grow their tech supply.
In workplaces, technology is used to increase productivity and efficiency by streamlining communication and collaboration, automating tasks, and providing access to a vast array of digital tools and resources. It gives people with jobs a place to store files and share information without any paper error.
As a student, how useful do you find technology in your everyday life? What do you use your computer or phone the most for while you're in class or at work? These prompts, and others like them, may get you to culturally and communally reflect on the importance of technology in your life.

Travel and Other Communities

In some communities, access to technology for school and work can look a little bit different. In certain areas, each student may have his or her own device, while other schools may assign them per student. Some communities have limited or no access to technology at all.
Have you ever encountered or visited a place where technology was used more or less than your own community for everyday life? Do you believe that you use your technology too much, too little, or just enough for your tasks and responsibilities?

Possible Prompts

As we get older, technology will only develop, and its progression is very important for us! This exam may ask you to reflect on your life and how it may or may not be different because of the presence of technology. Here are some ideas:
What do you find yourself using technology for at school or at work?
Compare your usage of technology to a student in a different/Francophone community.
What is the most useful part about having a device with access to the Internet? Why is it so important?
What technology do you want to see improved the most? Why?
