Integration of Technology
into the Curriculum
The SEPA Plan calls
for the integration of the following technology skills into the
curriculum. This will expose students to these skills and give them a
forum for learning these skills. A wide variety of projects or
components of projects will be used by SEPA teachers, thus forcing
students to become proficient with the following technology
skills.
- Web
Research
- The wide availability of
connected computers will allow for many projects that send
students to the World Wide Web for research.
- E-Mail
- The contacts and relationships
begun by SEPA Activities will be extended through E-Mail and
assignments that expect students to keep in touch with their
contacts.
- Web Site
Construction
- Many class projects will expect
the final product to be a Web Site, complete with links, graphics,
backgrounds and other tools common on current web
sites.
- Inspirations
- The program 'Inspirations' will
be used by teachers for homework, group projects, and as a base
for power point presentations.
- Power Point
- This presentation program will be
required for a number of group projects and as the main tool for
Senior Exhibitions.
- Video Production
- Adobe Premier and iMovie2 Video
editing Programs will be used for the production of some 12th
grade presentations to Junior High and Elementary School audiences
for the Public Health Delivery program. This technology tool will
allow some students to become proficient in the production of
videos.
- Video
Conferencing
- With certain computers at a
variety of key SEPA sites being equipped with camera, connections,
and software for video conferencing, and the ongoing need for
coordination between a variety of people to insure success, some
students will acquire skills in video
conferencing.
