WHY TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION?
• 60% of the jobs ten years from now have
not been invented yet.
• Many of today’s jobs will still exist, “but
every one of them will morph and change
as technology and communication systems
make their impact.”
Frey, 11-11-11
WHY TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION?
• Common Core State Standards
• Technology “blended into” CCSS
• Nine technology standards for 7 th grade
• Eleven technology standards for 8 th grade
TECHNOLOGY SKILLS “BLENDED” INTO
STANDARDS

technological society, students need the ability to
• Gather, comprehend, evaluate, synthesize, and report
on information and ideas.
• Conduct original research in order to answer questions
or solve problems.
• Analyze and create a high volume and extensive range
of print and nonprint texts in media forms old and new.

career ready use technology and
digital media strategically and
capably.
