TechnoKids curriculum has a gradual progression of learning. Skills and competencies scaffold within and across grades. Understanding how technology courses build upon one another can help educators structure their lessons. Whether selecting one project for a unit of study, building a course, or launching a school-wide program, the TechnoKids Scope & Sequence provides recommendations.
How to Pick a Course
TechnoKids curriculum follows a progressive learning framework, where skills and competencies develop gradually across multiple grade levels. Nevertheless, each TechnoKids course can be taught independently or combined with other titles to create a distinctive learning experience for students. Here are some recommendations for choosing a course that aligns with your requirements:
-
Consult the Scope & Sequence.
This framework organizes courses according to grade level and age. The difficulty level of courses progresses from left to right. As a result, the course in the first column is appropriate for the beginning of the school year, while the one in the last column is better suited for the end of the school year.
-
Assess whether a course aligns with the developmental stage of your students.
While the Scope & Sequence framework provides recommendations, it's essential to evaluate the specific needs of your learners. If they require more challenging tasks, opt for a course from a higher grade. Conversely, if your students require simpler assignments, select a course from a lower grade.
-
Consider the technology skill you are required to teach.
Each TechnoKids course emphasizes a key digital literacy skill, which serves as the central focus of the lessons. For instance, the activities may highlight word processing, spreadsheets, video production, animation, or coding. Select a course that matches your specific needs.
-
Integrate a course into an existing curriculum unit.
TechnoKids courses offer flexibility as many of the tasks are open-ended. You can choose a course that aligns with a topic or theme you are currently teaching in another subject like social studies, history, or language arts. Alternatively, you can select a course to kickstart a unit of study, or as a culminating project at the end.
-
Choose a project you want students to create.
Explore the course descriptions to understand the assignments students undertake. For instance, are you interested in having your students write a biography, design a website, build an infographic, or develop a game?
-
Identify the available software.
TechnoKids courses use various applications including Microsoft Office, Google Docs, Adobe, and others. Before making a choice, assess whether students have the required software on their devices.
-
Take into account students' interests.
TechnoKids courses offer numerous opportunities to apply digital tools in creative ways. Discuss with your students which ones capture their interests.
