Coding in Ontario

The Ontario government has produced a new curriculum overview document for mathematics, science and technology for grades 1-8. Probably the most significant change is the addition of 'coding and emerging technologies' to the science curriculum, including important concepts like defining algorithms, data input and use, and project management. Overall these are positive changes, in my view, though as always the question is how to make time for the new material. I also note that in the STEM curriculum there are significant references to First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples as students will learn about their role in developing these sciences as well as the impact of science and technology on their communities.
