Description
Technology Literacy (http://www.intel.com/education/technologyliteracy/index.htm) consists of six projects that cumulatively provide students with opportunities to become fully technology literate. Each of the three levels includes two projects. Each project consists of four modules and each module includes five activities with time for student and teacher reflection at the end of the module. Technology Literacy projects can be implemented either with classroom computers or in computer laboratories or libraries. If possible, the projects should be facilitated collaboratively by classroom teachers working with computer teachers or librarians. Schools that have created one-to-one computing environments can use the projects to support anytime, anywhere learning across the curriculum. Technology Literacy projects can be differentiated for students with diverse backgrounds and abilities. Teachers can differentiate the content that students learn, the process used to learn the content, and the product that demonstrates learning. The projects provide opportunities for all students, including students with special needs, gifted and talented students, and second language learners, to learn challenging content and develop technology literacy skills.
