GI+Tech+Curriculum

Using the National Educational Technology Standards as our framework (see below), GICSD developed a Technology Curriculum to provide teachers with a clear vision of technology competencies students should exhibit at various grade levels. Standards are organized by the 6 broad categories listed below.
