2
Example A teacher uses a classroom Website to
augment her STEM unit on Electric Cars. She also
has some students working on a Web-based drill
and practice program to help them build the math
skills they will need in that unit.
A
Technology that assists teachers in adjusting,
adapting or augmenting teaching and learning to
support individual learners or groups of learners.
Technologies Web-based resources or software
based learning systems such as PLATO or Study
Island that help students augment their
learning.

D
Example Students use a Web-based survey tool to
collect data on a local environmental problem and
then enter that information into a spread sheet
program which they use to conduct a systematic
data analysis.
Technology that supports students and teachers in
dealing effectively with data, including data
management, manipulation, and display
Technologies On-line survey tools such as
Survey Monkey, spread sheet software programs,
data base software programs, chart and graph
making programs.
4
Example Students complete a teacher-developed
WebQuest to develop baseline knowledge about
sensors and their many uses in todays world.
They then use Internet research strategies to
find answers to new questions raised by their
WebQuest learning experience.
I
Technology that supports students and teachers in
conducting inquiry, including the effective use
of Internet research methods
Technologies Web-based research tools such as
WebQuests, Hot-lists, or Treasure Hunts. Internet
Search Engines, on-line libraries, on-line
encyclopedias, etc.

S
Example In a science class students use
simulation software to build a virtual greenhouse
and then model the effects of various weather
conditions on plant growth. In a biology lab
students use a Web-based tutorial to conduct a
virtual frog dissection.
Technology that supports students and teachers in
simulating real world phenomena including the
modeling of physical, social, economic, and
mathematical relationships
Technologies Web-based or software based
simulation games. Web-based or software based
modeling programs. For example, Sim City or Net
Frog.

Example Students use teleconferencing, Skype,
or speaker phone technology to collaborate with
students from a different school district. Later,
they develop a slide show which they send to
those students as an e-mail attachment to
communicate the main findings from their
engineering design project.
C
Technology that supports students and teachers in
communicating and collaborating including the
effective use of multimedia tools and online
collaboration
Technologies Web boards, teleconferencing,
speaker phones, e-mail, Web meetings,
presentation software (ex. PowerPoint), word
processing programs, desktop publishing software,
digital cameras, video editing software,
photo-editing software etc.
