DESCRIPTION
Integrating technology and unit develop will encourage a curriculum that is both challenging and meaningful for students. This process also will create a coherent, workable framework for teacher instruction. In order to integrate technology into the curriculum, the school must follow six essential steps: selecting content standards, establishing purpose, developing learning tasks, defining methods of assessment, identifying technology tools and applying technology integration. The final step in the process is to submit all technology- based learning units to the steering committee. These units will be made available to teachers in all subject areas once the technology equipment is installed.

Reinventing Educational Applications as the
Role of Instructional Design
Teachers must be provided models for the design of integrated, multi-level activities if telecommuting tools are to be used meaningfully in K-12 curriculum.
Should use the school’s current curriculum frameworks as
benchmarks for achievement at specific grade levels.
Should identify ways to incorporate technology so
that the school will achieve both state and national
standards.
The units the teachers develop will be evidence of
what happens when technology steps

A content standard is the ability or skill that a student demonstrates, usually in a
variety of ways.Using the content standard
component, the unit developer should outline the desired content, or proficiencies, in
selected subject areas.
The Unit Developers must select specific content
standards or expectations for student performance.
The presenters recommend that unit developers choose content standards that are
required by the state and/or district.
In this Language Arts Unit, the activity will require students to be proficient in the use of technology.
They will:Demonstrate Understanding of Various CulturesDraw Conclusions
Produce An Original Work

What content standards does this unit address?
CHOOSE A UNIT TITLE: “Black History Month”
List all content standards below that this unit will address:
Use aspects of technology to produce an original work.Incorporate multimedia into student presentations.Choose multimedia most appropriate for specific purpose.
Draw Conclusions and make generalizations based on research findings.Explain the purpose of the research.Defend a conclusion based on the research findings.
Demonstrate an understanding of value systems from cultures reflected in literature.Compare/contrast daily experiences, customs and beliefs of diverse cultures.Defend a conclusion based on the research findings.
Students need to know the rationale for learning, and
teachers should take the time to explain it.
The purpose for providing rationale on the Technology-
Based Unit Learning Planner is to help the developers justify the
purpose of the unit.
If the purpose for the unit lacks relevance or real-life application, this step in the process will reveal
these gaps.
Define your instructional purpose in terms of relevance to real life application.
The purpose of this unit is to require students to write news releases, a skill that will probably be needed in their professional lives. The unit will require students to work cooperatively and to evaluate their own and each other’s work. In order to write a news release, they will have to gather pertinent information from various Internet sources, compile the information, and communicate it using proper conventions of the English language. Through these units, students will explore influential African Americans and their contributions to history. Students will use resources provided through various web links designed by the instructor for conducting their research. The unit will feature a writing webpage for students to submit their work online.
A good task is authentic and requires students to perform in a
real-life context.It can be multidimensional and
require not only cognitive skills but also interpersonal skills and
abilities.The task will not elicit quality work if it requires knowledge and
skills that the students do not have.
The Unit Developer should identify the learning domains that will be assigned to tasks within the unit.
It should include information about the levels of learning by identifying learning activity domains that will
support the unit.These domains are virtual resources on how technology will
be used in the unit to support the activity.

The decision on how content standards will be measured will
determine the overall development of the assessment strategy.

The unit developer should remember that assessment is only as good as the teacher’s understanding of the
purpose of the task.
The teacher must understand why it is an effective assessment of the
standards of learning.
