INTRODUCTIONThe fast-paced evolution of technology poses numerous educational challenges. Teachers must continuallylearn how to use new technologies while simultaneously integrating them into their classrooms. This document is intended to assist teachers with the visioning process andspark their creative integration ideas.There are natural points where technology can enhance and enrich content or transform the learning experience into an interactive, student-driven lesson. This document highlights these naturalpoints, illustrating how technology can be incorporated into the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) core curricular subjects foreach middle school grade. Note that this is merely a starting pointand not an exhaustive list of potential integration points or techniques.The examples pertain to a wide range of technology expertise.They also point out where Internet safety issues can be coveredwithin a lesson. Additionally, there are extensive project-based lessons for teachers who already integrate technology and wish topush their skills further.Hopefully, teachers will find this document a useful addition to theirteaching toolkits—sparking their own imaginations and those oftheir students.This document provides links to Web sites created and maintained by other public and/orprivate organizations.
