"Knowing content" is not sufficient in itself -rather, students must apply knowledge to:
•
•
•
•
•
construct new understandings,
solve problems
make decisions
develop products and
communicate
Technology can facilitate this type of learning
Our Vision
Students will use technology seamlessly as
a regular part of their education
Each student will come to class with their
own computing device
All of the computing devices will be
interconnected
Teachers and Students will have the skills
necessary to appropriately use the
Hardware and Software
Pedagogical Foundations
Curriculum must drive the need for technology
integration
Technology is simply the tool used to facilitate
student-centered learning
Technology makes it easier to accomplish

Sample
A Week in the Life…
Students keep a written and digital record
for each week of class
iWeb
Blogging
Portfolio - PowerPoint
Students create digital media
Portfolio allows them to reflect upon their work
and demonstrate exemplary projects
Student Example
Portfolio - iWeb
Students create websites using easy web
authoring software
Websites demonstrate exemplary work and
post to district website
Current Projects
Chemical Reactions Project
Students create a video and photo
presentation of a type of chemical reaction,
analyze the stoichiometry of the reaction, and
create a presentation to communicate their
results.
Web Video Project
Students create a video of an example of
motion, analyze the motion, and create a
website to communicate their findings.
