Integration of Technology
into the Curriculum
The SEPA proposal
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 in all subject
areas thus encouraging students to become proficient with the
following technology skills.
- Web
Research
- The wide availability of
connected computers will allow for many projects that send
student 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 in a variety
of subjects 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 this will help train
students for Senior Exhibitions.
- Video Production
- Video editing software will be
used for the production of some presentations for Junior High and
Elementary School audiences .This technology tool will allow some
students to become proficient in the production of
videos.
- Video
Conferencing
- With some of the high school
computers being equipped with camera, connections, and software
for video conferencing, and the extensive video conferencing
facilities and equipment at UCSD, coordination between a SEPA
students and physicians or student health advocate mentors will
encourage acquisition of video conferencing skills. In addition,
remote vitural field trips will be possible so students can tour
facilities they could not ordinarily be able to
enter.
