This site contains unit plans to incorporate technology in the curriculum. Because technology has become such an integral part of society, it is necessary to integrate its use in education in a variety of ways. The use of computer technology has moved beyond computer assisted instruction in the form of tutorials or drill and practice. As this site will show, computers can be used as devices for communicating with people literally a world apart. They can be used as tools to create instructional materials or as presentation devices to provide information in ways never before possible.

A person familiar with digital devices and technology since childhood.

-Digital Immigrant

1. Students today are growing up in a digital world. These digital natives learn in new and different ways, so educators need new approaches to make learning both real and relevant for today’s students. There are many ways teachers who are digital immigrants can facilitate learning to those who are native, mainly through changing how instruction is presented and carried out. Infusing the curriculum with technology will reach digital natives: posting messages, downloading music, downloading videos, uploading music, updating personal websites or online profiles, posting photos, and blogging can all be added to any lesson.
