Transcript of Developing Curriculum using. Technology and Change Ü One of our most important contributions as...
Technology and ChangeTechnology and Change One of our most important contributions as
technology educators is to help learners understand and control technology.
This means teaching them to deal with constant change.
By consistently updating our curriculum, we have an excellent opportunity to teach this skill by example.
New Paradigms for EducationNew Paradigms for Education Standards-based Reforms Business/School Partnerships Increased Accountability Implementing New Technologies Portfolio and Performance-based Assessment Charter Schools and School Choice Others
Why does Technology Education need TFAA?
Outline what everyone should know and be able to do
Organize curriculum into relevant paths of logical order
Balance Content and Process
Maintain the nation’s competitive edge
...We must create a foundation throughout the nation for Technology Education for the next century.
What are appropriate steps in utilizing the TFAA guidelines?
1. Develop a Rationale
2. Understand the concepts presented in TFAA, their structure, their purpose, and their interrelationships.
3. Implement the concepts in curriculum development.
