Computers and Computational Devices

Computers and Communication devices in the BC Curriculum grades K-12 are only mentioned once in ADST 6,7,and 8, which was a huge surprise as almost every high school student carries around a smartphone, and/or has a tablet, ipad, or chromebook at home. There is no more mention of it unless you are in French Immersion 11/12. Very odd.
