Goals and Objectives

Goal

The goal of this module is to promote the use of technology-integrated teaching by providing specific strategies to help educators understand how to use technology effectively in order to enhance instructional practices and improve student achievement.

Objectives

Participants who successfully complete this technology integration module will be able to...

  • plan, design, teach and assess a lesson that integrates technology.
  • plan a technology-rich, inquiry-based science lesson that targets a specific science benchmark within the physical, earth/space, or life sciences and includes indicators that address the history and nature of science, science and technology, and science as inquiry.
  • develop a technology-rich, standards-based science lesson that offers participants multiple opportunities to demonstrate that they understand the concepts behind the activities by requiring them to create an end-product that makes use of multiple technologies.
  • use technology as a catalyst to provide learning options that lead to conceptual understanding.
