Philosophy Statement: Ethical use of technology and honorable business practices should glorify God. Technology is broadly defined as the creative use and application of knowledge to achieve a practical result. With these things in mind, students will learn effective and ethical business practices to create and use technology to produce results that glorify God.
Course Objective: Students will receive instruction and be able to use technology in conjunction with creative problem solving, project management, and interpersonal communication skills. A major component of the Technology Curriculum is the development of a general set of profiles describing technology-literate students at key developmental points in their pre-college education. These profiles reflect the underlying assumption that all students should have the opportunity to develop technology skills that support learning, personal productivity, decision-making, and daily life. These profiles and associated standards provide a framework for preparing students to be lifelong learners who make informed decisions about the role of technology in their lives. Course Content: • Basic operations and concepts • Social, ethical, and human issues • Technology productivity tools • Technology communications tools • Technology research tools • Technology problem-solving and decision-making tools |
