The Manitoba Curriculum Framework of Outcomes for Visual Arts 9-12 (2014) identifies four essential learning areas:
Making (M-M) The learner develops understanding of and facility with language and practices for making visual art.
Creating (M-CR) The learner generates, develops, and communicates ideas for creating visual art.
Connecting (M-C) The learner develops understandings about the significance of music by connecting visual art to diverse contexts.
In this lesson, students consider the ways in which misinformation can have an impact on history and politics. After discussing a number of historical examples of misinformation, they examine the ways in which news sources may be biased and use an interactive online game to practice skills in getting more context on a story. Finally, students read a current news story and use what they have learned to find the context they need to understand it.
In this lesson, students consider the ways in which our own biases can prevent us from being objective.

In the Northwest Territories technology, literacy and communication, problem solving, and human relations are considered "foundation skills" and are included in a wide range of curricula from Kindergarten to Grade 12. This approach is based on a focus on inquiry, critical and creative thinking, digital citizenship, multiple literacies (including digital literacies) and a gradual release of responsibility from the instructor to the student, with the ultimate goal of making the student responsible for his or her learning.
