DESCRIPTION
Curricula in Technology-CURITE is an organizational and educational strategy designed to build basic ICT/digital skills along K-12 education, while also developing the skills necessary to pursue a new literacy order. This brief offers practical information and important considerations towards the incorporation and infusion of technology in the curricula, with advice on engaging stakeholders, teacher support, planning, execution, and assessments. In promoting teacher competency alongside school teambuilding and technology integration, CURITE provides means to positively influence teacher professional development and classroom quality, fostering benefits that go beyond the scope of current mainstream technology curricula.
Citation preview
Georgette Viller - 2008
“Teaching all students to think and to be curious is
much more than a technical problem for which
educators, alone, are accountable. And more
professional development for teachers and better
textbooks and tests, though necessary, are insufficient
as solutions. The problem goes much deeper—to the
very way we conceive of the purpose and experience
of schooling and what we expect our high school
graduates to know and be able to do.”
—Tony Wagner, The Global Achievement Gap, 2008
Georgette Viller - 2008

And both students and educators need learning environments that are conducive to results. - Partnership for 21 century skills- 2008
