What does the curriculum include now? What are your state standards for technology?

hey Michelle, one idea I have for you is the Adina's Deck Internet Safety DVD series. They really cover the social side of technology. My students really love it!

I would love to see some of what you do with the constitution for 8th grade. I want to tie my 8th grade classes in with their Social Studies and I tried an approach last year that didn't work well so I'm looking for ideas.

I have some middle school technology curriculum I use with my class. It is geared a little more towards engineering. It has some videos, worksheets, screencasts, and online quizzes. My website is www.learninreturn.com

She is more than welcome to use mine. It was an eclectic mix of five schools and one municipal scope and sequence. It is for K to 8th grade but she can glean what she needs for middle school.

Hi Jack,

I am a technology integration specialist for three Jewish day schools in Boca Raton. I have been doing some research on creating technology standards for one of the schools and I came across your posting and your website. For one of the schools that I work for we are going to develop technology standards for the school (K-8) and hopefully the computer teacher together with the other teachers will be able to create a curriculum based on these standards.

I would like to know how you came about creating the standards for your school.

Thanks!

I am a technology coordinator for a K - 12 school in Missouri. I have been doing research on curriculum for K - 8. I wrote curriculum for K - 6 but I am still working on 7 - 8. I surveyed several other schools in our area and came to the conclusion that most of them are requiring an “Applications Class” in 7th and/or 8th grade. The apps are primarily the Office Apps but we are considering including Inspiration, SMART notebook, Adobe Elements Premier 8 and Photoshop. After examining the NETS we have concluded we need to know what the teachers are doing with project based learning which integrates technology. AS of now we have keyboarding and video production. We are toying with making keyboarding an optional summer course and adding the APPS course.
