Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes drive the selection of technology. In order for learning outcomes to drive the selection of technology, teachers must first be sure of their desired student learning outcomes. This important direction allows the efficient selection of technology applicable and appropriate for their learning outcomes. Teachers are often compelled to look to outside sources for standards in their practice, and this resource area provides links and descriptions of some of the major national standards for the subject.
