Our mission is to try to help students learn as much as they can about the technology that touches their lives. They need to start to think about career choices and the technology that will be needed in that career.
The main thing that the successful student will take with them into the future, is an attitude that "I can find that answer which will help me do that job". Our lab has the necessary technology to really help the kids and their teacher, understand and explain how it works and how it makes our lives better, we hope.
modules are self-contained areas of investigation and learning within the classroom. Students work with a partner and cooperatively do a series of planned activities related to a particular technology.
the fact that you are able to read this from anywhere in the world demonstrates the profound implications for communications and the importance of understanding technology.
we need to train the next generation to make wise choices about technology so they can not only survive change but lead in the creation of change.
Tech Ed gives the kids a place to see where they can apply what they learned in math, science, Spanish, art and all the other curricular areas.
the students will look back in the year 2020 and judge how we prepared the cybrarian, artist, visionary, infonaut and engineer of the future. We don't even know the job titles that will be available to them then.
