Using Technology

Use your intranet to organize curriculum materials.

Replace your curriculum binders by tapping into the organizational power of your computer network. Build on-line “filing cabinets” to hold graphic organizers, text samples, and student work that correlate to your curriculum scope and sequence.

A single-page grid can provide the layout for an entire year’s curriculum, grade by grade. Hyperlinks to each lesson provide all teachers instant access to grade-level resources.
