Technology Standards

Apply strategies for identifying and solving routine hardware and software problems that occur during everyday use. (1)

Use content-specific tools, software, and simulations (e.g., environmental probes, graphing calculators, exploratory environments, Web tools) to support learning and research. (3, 5)

Design, develop, publish, and present products (e.g., Web pages, videotapes) using technology resources that demonstrate and communicate curriculum concepts to audiences inside and outside the classroom. (4, 5, 6)

Select and use appropriate tools and technology resources to accomplish a variety of tasks and solve problems. (5, 6)

Demonstrate an understanding of concepts underlying hardware, software, and connectivity, and of practical applications to learning and problem solving. (1, 6)
