Curriculum and Lab Evaluation
What will students know and be able to do?
What will be the evidence of student learning? What are the corresponding means of expression? How
can we diversify and vary these means?

What we know technology can do
•Motivate students
•Provide highly individualized instruction
•Promote positive attitudes toward learning
•Facilitate cooperative, collaborative, and positive social behavior
•Provide learner-controlled instruction
•Support active learning experiences
