The Schedule

• Research

• Proposals and Hypothesis

• Research, Research, Research

• Data

• Paper and citing sources

• PowerPoint presentations

• Science Fair

Are there standards for technology?

YES!

• There are both national and state technology standards.

• VTE Frameworks: Strand 6, Underlying Principles of Technology

Although we are not currently required to follow these standards and show evidence of meeting them, we

soon will be.

Let’s Be Prepared!

That’s a lot of information! Where do I start?

• Know the technology tools available in the building.

• Become familiar with the standards.

• Integrate the skills and knowledge you have gained about technology into your every day teaching.

Remember . . .The students are ready and willing to learn with technology. We can support and enhance their learning if we are willing to take the extra step and integrate technology into our curriculum.
