TechnoKids technology projects have detailed lesson plans that include step by step instructions that teachers can use to integrate technology into curriculum effectively to create meaningful learning opportunities for students.

Each technology project contains theme-related assignments that use Microsoft and Adobe applications. TechnoKids lesson plans explain how to:

• produce a book advertisement using PowerPoint
• write a report about endangered species using Word
• analyze and graph survey results using Excel
• organize data on a topic using Access
• create a digital scrapbook using Photoshop
• animate a story using Flash

Each technology project, integrates into traditional subject areas such as language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, and visual arts.

TechnoKids Computer Curriculum integrates easily into curriculum. There are several options:

• School Wide Initiative: Offer the computer curriculum as a complete program at your school with all students using the instructional materials.
• School Division: Offer a set of technology projects to a group of students within the school, such as middle school students.
• Computer Course: Purchase several technology projects and combine them to create a computer course that meets learning objectives.
• Curriculum Unit: Select one technology project that has a theme that integrates into a curriculum unit.
• Technology Skill: Select a technology project that teaches a specific skill, such as spreadsheets.

• themes integrate into existing curriculum units
• step-by-step instructions
• project based learning
• resource files are customizable
• choose from over 50 technology projects
• free curriculum support
• save valuable planning time

I believe every child should feel challenged and success and the TechnoKids units help do that. Every group I teach can't wait until it is their turn to do a TechnoKids lesson with me. (Makes me like my job too!) more
