In addition
to the New York State Standards, the Great Neck Public Schools
District where I teach, established departmental technology standards
for students at all grade levels. The Middle School Computer
Curriculum Framework reflects the philosophy of middle school
education (grades 6-8) to provide students with active, hands-on
learning experiences that are integrated with the curriculum. Using a
WebQuest design provides these experiences and helps accomplish Great
Neck Public School's four major goals on the middle school
level:
- Students
will use technology to communicate and present
information.
- Students
will use technology to access and interpret
information.
- Students
will use technology to create original designs and
compositions.
Students will
use technology to enhance understanding and solve
problems.
