Purpose of Usage of Technology
Specify the purpose for usage of the technology proposed in the scenario.
Students will use the technology during lab time only to learn how to use the technology (e.g. learn how to type) and on activities related to core content area (e.g. prepare a report using word processor).
Students will use the technology as part of a lesson to demonstrate a concept or provide examples (e.g. a video to enhance a lesson on volcanoes).
Students will use the technology as part of a lesson, to make associations across disciplines and topics (e.g. an Internet search on gases to complement the lesson on volcanoes).
In addition to the above, students will use the technology to participate in national or international projects and competitions.
