| Step Five: Selection of Technology Tools |
| Presentation |
| Available Technology Resources |
| Example of available resources listed below Library Computer Center Home Computer Power Point LCD Presentations Web Links One Online Classroom Computer |
| Identifying the types of technology tools the teacher will use to deliver the unit allows the developer to analyze the different technology capabilities. This process will allow unit developers to identify important technology tools they can include in their units. They can select from a variety of resources that include available hardware, software and the availability of online resources. In Exhibit Five Technology Tools, the unit developer has selected a variety of technology tools to use in the delivery of the unit. These tools include networking, various presentation software and the incorporation of constructed websites that give students selected resources from which to work. |

| Methods of Presentation |
| Example of methods of presentation listed below Instructor will develop three web sites for this activity. Students and teacher will use these pages as a basis for learning and presentation. Additional technology presentations will include student projects using a variety of media application resources. Black History Home Web Resource Page Assignment and Activity Web Page Writing Lab Web Page |
| Once teachers understand the capabilities of the technology, they must then take advantage of these resources as tools for learning, communicating, handling/managing information, and solving problems. Schools must use computers as a means, not an end. These new capabilities will allow the teacher and the school to restructure the way instruction is delivered to students. |
