LINC 260S.01 Understanding and Evaluating Technology (Saturday January 28) 1/2 unit.. a MUST for all who are interested in the "best practices" for using technology in the educational setting!
Computers were not the first technology and they won't be the last. For millennia, technology has been changing how we work, what we study, and what choices we can make. How can we put all technology into context so our students can make the best choices for themselves, their communities, and our environment? That context is social studies, science, mathematics, and English language arts. We follow the entrancing thread of technology through the core content areas (with connections to California state standards) to the critical thinking skills our society will need in a rapidly changing future. This is technological literacy (understanding and evaluating technology), which complements technological competency (knowing how to operate specific tools). A bonus for teachers: unlike teaching how to use the latest software, technological literacy leverages your educational and life experiences, making it easier to be an "expert." The downloadable curriculum with student workbooks (consumable) has been tested in middle school classrooms (and even adapted to a college classroom).
