* Curriculum Pages:  Effective and Efficient to Integrate Technology *

* Directions to create a Curriculum “Links” Web Page *

 

Curriculum Pages are web pages consisting of carefully selected web sites

which concentrate on a specific topic or unit to be studied or investigated.

Curriculum pages provide a  student safe  and  user-friendly learning experience

enhancing critical thinking and promoting problem solving and discovery.

 

The WWW has many web sites which may or may not provide for appropriate learning.

 

Teachers need to evaluate and categorize web sites into suitable content-specific pages to

 provide for effective investigations and stimulating explorations for the World Wide Web.

 

Curriculum pages of pre-selected web sites minimize problems of typing and spelling.

Curriculum pages can be distributed by posting on the WWW and by E-mail attachments.

 

Curriculum pages allow for collaboration and sharing among teachers of all levels and disciplines.

Curriculum pages can be created by many well known, inexpensive and easy to use applications.

Creating a curriculum page can be a very simple and easy process to integrate technology.
