Mission Statement

• Inspire learning in students through the use of their own innovative ideas.

Page 3: Learning Through Innovation

Objectives

• Students will identify real-world technology problems

• Students will develop innovative solutions to real-world technology problems

• Students will apply math, reading, science, history, art and technology to solve real-world technology problems

Page 4: Learning Through Innovation

What is technology?• Using available resources to meet societies

wants and needs• Manufacturing, Construction, Communication,

Transportation and Bio-related Technology

Page 5: Learning Through Innovation

What are real-world technology Problems?

• Fuel costs, War In Iraq, Health Care Costs, Failing Bridges, Cell-Phone Deaths, etc.

Page 6: Learning Through Innovation

How will my child learn through technology?

Fuel Costs • Science?

• Math?

• History?

• Technology?

• Reading?

Page 7: Learning Through Innovation

Student Driven• Students will generate their own problems and

solutions:Problem: My cell-phone keeps dropping calls. Solution: I want to invent a cell-phone network that doesn’t drop calls.

Belief

• Technology has met our needs since the beginning of civilization. Ex. Paper

• Technology drives core concepts. Core concepts don’t drive technology. Ex. Mathematics
