Technology that assists teachers in adjusting, adapting or augmenting teaching and learning to support individual learners or groups of learners. Example: A teacher uses a classroom Website to augment her STEM unit on Electric Cars. She also has some students working on a Web-based drill and practice program to help them build the math skills they will need in that unit. Technologies: Web-based resources or software based learning systems such as PLATO or Study Island that help students augment their learning.PLATO

Technology that supports students and teachers in dealing effectively with data, including data management, manipulation, and display Example: Students use a Web-based survey tool to collect data on a local environmental problem and then enter that information into a spread sheet program which they use to conduct a systematic data analysis. Technologies: On-line survey tools such as Survey MonkeySurvey Monkey, spread sheet software programs, data base software programs, chart and graph making programs.spread sheet software

Technology that supports students and teachers in conducting inquiry, including the effective use of Internet research methods Example: Students complete a teacher-developed WebQuest to develop baseline knowledge about sensors and their many uses in today’s world. They then use Internet research strategies to find answers to new questions raised by their WebQuest learning experience. Technologies: Web-based research toolsWeb-based research tools such as WebQuests, Hot-lists, or Treasure Hunts. Internet Search Engines, on-line libraries, on-line encyclopedias, etc.

Technology that supports students and teachers in simulating real world phenomena including the modeling of physical, social, economic, and mathematical relationships Example: In a science class students use simulation software to build a virtual greenhouse and then model the effects of various weather conditions on plant growth. In a biology lab students use a Web- based tutorial to conduct a virtual frog dissection. Technologies: Web-based or software based simulation games. Web-based or software based modeling programs. For example, Sim City or Net Frog.Sim City Net Frog

Technology that supports students and teachers in communicating and collaborating including the effective use of multimedia tools and online collaboration Example: Students use teleconferencing, Skype, or speaker phone technology to collaborate with students from a different school district. Later, they develop a slide show which they send to those students as an attachment to communicate the main findings from their engineering design project. Technologies: Web boards, teleconferencing, speaker phones, , Web meetings, presentation software (ex. PowerPoint), word processing programs, desktop publishing software, digital cameras, video editing software, photo-editing software etc.
