Technology in the Curriculum

1. Technology as a means to accommodate students with IEPs

2. Technology in the Language curriculum

3. Technology as a tool for writing, editing and presenting (slideshow, video, etc.)

4. Outdated options: specifically gives examples of online museum archives and PowerPoint presentations as an appropriate use of tech (no learning programs, only research)

5. No suggestions on how to use technology effectively as a teacher (i.e. technology use directed toward students, not teachers)

6. Emphasis on the risks of internet use/safe use of technology/bullying

7. Green: Elements present in the Language curriculum that are also present broadly across the curriculum Blue: Elements unique to the Language curriculum Purple: Elements that share commonality in other selected curriculum documents but were not touched upon in the Language curriculum

8. Watching and observing performances, lessons, etc. through videos and presentation (e.g. watching a dance performance on YouTube to enhance student understanding of the art form)

9. Media as an enhancement of pre-existing subjects (e.g. while media arts is not a strand in the arts curriculum, it can be used to work in tandem with visual, dramatic, and musical arts)

10. Technology across the curriculum

11. Information and communications technologies

12. Helps with research collection and sorting

13. Use of apps to track progress toward a goal (e.g. a nutrition app to track meals for Phys. Ed.)

14. Documentation of trends in one's own teaching for the purpose of reflection (present only in curriculum documents that were updated recently)

15. "bring the global community into the local classroom" used across multiple documents

16. Track/document things that would be more complicated to communicate with a pen and paper (e.g. using an online math program like Geometer's Sketchpad where focus is on the process, not on data input)

17. Use to promote thinking through problems over memorization of concepts

18. Importance of engaging with how to use the internet in a way the promotes learning

19. Allows for collaboration both in the classroom and with a larger community (e.g. pen pal communication with students at another school or in another place)
