Addressing+Standards

It is important that anything we bring into the classroom align with our state and national standards just as our curriculum does. Technology is an important part of our daily lives in and out of school. In school we use technology to facilitate lessons but we also use lessons to facilitate the teaching of technology. By bringing document cameras and projectors into the classroom, students will not only see teachers demonstrating the use of technology in the classroom but see how these items can help us in our daily lives and learn how this technology is operated. The following National and Maryland State Standards are addressed by using a document camera and projector in the classroom as part of student lessons.
