Explain with Technology
The second level of Technology Literacy includes two projects that empower students in the middle grades, ages 11 through 14, to understand and explain important concepts in the core curriculum as well as across the curriculum. Explain with Technology projects can be used across the curriculum because they allow teachers and students to decide what subjects and topics to address. In these projects, students research complex topics, write expository essays on their topics, and explain their topics to a live audience.
In Explain with Technology projects, teachers:
- Promote creativity and innovation
- Facilitate critical thinking and decision making
- Help students build research skills and information fluency
- Encourage collaboration and communication
- Cultivate technology literacy and responsible digital citizenship
Research, Write, Present >
How can you help students develop rigorous research skills while encouraging objectivity? You can use the Research, Write, Present project to facilitate student research into complex topics and encourage expository writing about real events. Students become more effective communicators by designing and delivering multimedia presentations on their topics to live audiences.
Make Decisions with Data >
How can you provide opportunities for students to learn, practice, and apply rigorous decision making skills? You can use the Make Decisions with Data project to help students define important decisions and collect and analyze opinion data to inform their decisions. Students become more effective communicators by presenting their decisions to live audiences.
