Project Based Learning and TechnoKids

TechnoKids uses a Project Based Learning instructional approach. Project Based Learning is a unique approach to teaching technology skills. With project based learning students complete technology projects that focus around problem solving tasks. Students learn technology skills gradually as they complete activities such as publishing a magazine, creating a multimedia storyboard, or developing a website.

Technology Integration

TechnoKids technology projects have detailed lesson plans that include step by step instructions that teachers can use to integrate technology into curriculum effectively to create meaningful learning opportunities for students.

Each technology project contains theme-related assignments that use Microsoft and Adobe applications. TechnoKids lesson plans explain how to:

• produce a book advertisement using PowerPoint
