3 Using the Integrated Curriculum and the Scope and Sequence In order to assure the ongoing commitment to and integration of technology in the Madison Public Schools, the curriculum subcommittee of the Technology dvisory Council developed the Integrated Technology Curriculum. Its design and content are aligned with national, state, and the existing technology standards of the district of Madison. The primary purpose of this document is to serve as a reference and guide to the integration of technology outcomes within core curriculum areas. By pairing technology outcomes with sample indicators and sample projects and lessons, teachers can, with the assistance and support of district instructional technology specialists, begin to design lessons and assessments that seek an authentic use of technology resources hardware, software and personnel. The sample indicators are precisely that samples. They are provided to indicate what teachers may observe as students begin to develop and assimilate the technology competencies. Likewise, the suggested units for integration are examples, based on current practice in classrooms within the district. The sample lessons/units of integration are suggestions only; they are not intended to be inclusive of all possible points of integration within a unit of study nor are they meant to be exclusive of new ideas created by classroom teachers and/or instructional technology personnel. s part of defining a natural point of integration for the technology standards, a scope and sequence has been added to create a linear view of the stages of students technology learning development. In creating this scope and sequence, the committee sought to set the development based on existing hardware and support personnel. s the technology resources of the district change, so too will the range of the scope and sequence and the possibilities within each grade level. The key to the scope and sequence is as follows: xposure evelopment Students are exposed to the skill and/or objective, primarily through teacher modeling or lesson design. Students begin to acquire initial skills and strategies through direct or integrated instruction as part of a content lesson. - pplication Students implement the skills and independently apply the knowledge. I Integration R - Reinforcement - Students synthesize the information and employ it in appropriate situations. Students continue to use and refine the skill independently.
