toc =Welcome to the Public Schools of Brookline Educational Technology Wiki=

Purpose
The purpose of this wiki is to collaborate on grade-level and content area technology integration projects across the curriculum throughout the district. Content included on this wiki has been contributed by the fabulous members of the Educational Technology department.

Site Layout
We have started by organizing technology integration projects/lessons/units by grade level. As content is added to the wiki, we may create new sections by content areas, or specific technology tools.

About the Program
Brookline’s instructional technology program presents technology as a resource to access, reinforce, and extend content-area lessons; as students use computers within language arts, math, science, social studies, etc., they also develop valuable technological skills. These skills permit students to think, research and present in an enriched and more powerful way; one that is similar to what they will encounter in the real world.

Learning Expectations
Our Learning Expectations combine the National Educational Technology Standards for Students (NETS) created by the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and Massachusetts Recommended PreK-12 Instructional Technology Standards. Both sets of standards cite the need for students to demonstrate proficiency in the use of computers and applications, responsible use of technology, and the ability to use technology for research, problem solving, and communication.
