This course has these major goals:
  1. To give an overview of selected technologies that are currently available for classroom instruction.
  2. To become familiar with (at least) three of these technologies and become proficient in at least one of them.
  3. To review some of the current issues in science and mathematics education (such as the findings of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study-TIMSS) and explore some ways in which technology could be used to help address some of those issues.
  4. To review the Illinois Learning Standards, in the light of findings of TIMSS and explore ways in which technology can help implement the Standards
  5. To visit selected field sites in business and industry, and determine ways in which mathematics, science and/or technology are used in those sites. The field trips are being arranged by Goals 2000 staff.
  6. To review illustrative lessons on the World Wide Web that make use of technology to help 'contextualize' the teaching of mathematics and/or science.
  7. To develop an instructional unit (of about 5 days' duration) in your teaching field that makes use of technology to contextualize mathematics and/or science. This unit should explicitly implement the appropriate Illinois Learning Standards, as well.
