Based a federally funded project on implementation of 1:1 computing in 28 schools, Digital Wish designed a technology curriculum to comprehensively cover the NETS standards. See the complete series here.

The Projects, Tools and Web Resources Unit is composed of three sections: Projects, Tools, and Web Resources. In the “Projects” section you will find four freestanding projects using digital tools such as claymation, digital photography, video projects and a photostory.

The “Tools” section includes detailed information on nine digital tools allowing you to incorporate them into your curriculum as needed. Included are Google Earth, Art, Docs and SketchUp, Kodu Game Lab, Scratch, Google Books, News and Avatar Creator.

Finally, the “Web Resources” section is an expansive list of useful links organized by subject.

The four projects and various tools are designed to meet the needs of many different curricular objectives. The aim of this unit is to give teachers information and choices of classroom applications for a variety of tools and resources to enhance lessons.

This Unit contains an instructor preparation checklist and three important lessons:
  1. Projects
  2. Tools
  3. Web Resources


Each lesson includes:
  • Introduction - An introduction provides the Rationale/Context of the lesson, correlation to NETS Standards, objectives, time and materials needed
  • Procedures - The Procedures section details the lesson plan, provides discussion points and teacher tips
  • Conclusion - The Conclusion section covers assessment, accomodations, and closure/connections
  • Quick Lesson Guide - The Quick Lesson Guide is your tool for quickly accessing all you'll need for the lesson including links to the presentations used during the lesson
