Technology Integration
Integration of Technology into the Classroom Curriculum
Imagine owning a high performance
car and it's sitting in your garage. Imagine not having fuel,
driving directions, driving rules and regulations or even streets to
drive it on. How useless would that car be?
Now imagine having a computer lab
or mobile cart loaded with state of the art computers. Think
of professional
development, student curriculum and integrated projects as the fuel,
driving directions, rules and regulations and internet Superhighway
in which to operate those computers. Now we can go places!
The 3rd "C" is "content".
This is where everything comes together in meaningful lesson plans
that teach as well as inspire. By taking an inventory of all
the technology available to the classroom and the state standards to
be covered, our highly skilled Integration Specialist weave exciting
technology projects into relevant classroom lesson plans. Now
the computer lab or mobile computer cart is part of the learning
environment and the how, where, and why is all handled. We are
going places!
 Our
Integration component covers the critical areas of lesson plan
re-creation including:
|
·
Web
Research |
·
Standards |
·
Lesson Design |
Teachers
learn the process of developing rich technology projects that
motivate and inspire students. The simplicity of this method is
that teachers do not need to do something “new” but simply need to
upgrade their existing lesson plans with technology. The skill-set
developed through our Integration component will always be part of
their lesson-planning strategy. In addition, teachers can
collaborate and share project ideas simply using the technology they
have learned.
The tools the
students learn in the BEYOND Technology Education Curriculum are
applied to relevant classroom projects. Technology is infused into
the regular classroom learning objectives creating more effective
and efficient learning. This leads to technology integration that
includes classroom content that teachers already know. We do not
bring a “new” curriculum to the table but instead infuse relevant
technology into the content based lesson plans teachers are already
delivering.
