 * Review draft of 8.1 Educational Technology

2009 Standards Revision Project - New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards for Technology http://www.state.nj.us/education/aps/cccs/2009/tech/index.html

Intent and Spirit of the Technology Standards

All students acquire content area knowledge and skills in: Visual and Performing Arts, Comprehensive Health and Physical Education, Language Arts Literacy, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, World Languages, Technological Literacy, Technology Education, Engineering and Design and 21st Century Life and Careers supported by ongoing, transparent and systematic integration of technology from preschool to grade 12 in preparation for post secondary education and the workplace.

In grades 5-8, students expand their capacity to use operations and applications, apply information literacy skills and select the appropriate tools and resources to accomplish a variety of tasks as they develop digital citizenship. Participation in online learning communities builds understanding of the perspectives of learners from other countries as students collaborate in the design of products that address local and global issues across the curriculum.

Students at this level can apply the design process in the development of a product(s), understand the impact constraints, trade-offs and resource selection, and solve a design challenge and/or build a prototype using the design process. Students can explain why human designed systems, products and environments need to be monitored, maintained and improved and recognize the interdependence of subsystems as part of a system.

*** What I do - http://www.state.nj.us/education/aps/cccs/2009/pbl/index.html Project Based Learning (PBL) is an effective strategy that supports the implementation of the revised standards through integration of 21st century content and skills and themes (global awareness; financial, economic, business and entrepreneurial literacy; civic literacy; and health literacy) into all core content areas.
