Viking Treasure Chest:

http://www.northcanton.sparcc.org/%7Etechresources/

A question to ask yourself when considering using technology. . .

Does this technology support my course of study?

This HAS to be the first question you ask yourself. Not "How cool is the site?" Not "How well written is this lesson?" Not "How much will my kids like this project?"

The question is "Does this resource help my students learn the information that the course of study says they are supposed to learn from me this year?"

Sure, there are a lot of great technology resources out there, but that doesn't mean you can actually use all of them. The problem develops when we come across something exciting and then try to figure out how to fit it into our curriculum. Many times when we do that we can end up spending time in class that does not address what the students are really supposed to be learning. Instead of truly integrating technology into our curriculum, we take a detour from the lesson to "have some fun" with the computers. It shouldn't be this way.

Instead the curriculum needs to drive the technology use. The beauty of the Treasure Chest is you can't add a resource without tying it to an objective in your course of study. We need to pick resources that directly support what our kids are supposed to learn.

Bottom Line: If the resource doesn't help your students meet an objective in your course of study, is it really worth spending precious time on
