Invention, Innovation, and Inquiry (I³). These units for
Technological Literacy, Grades 5–6, are the result of an ITEA project funded
by the National Science Foundation. This project is
so named because invention and innovation are the hallmarks
of technological thinking and action. Each unit has
standards-based content, suggested teaching approaches, and
detailed learning activities including brainstorming, visualizing,
testing, refining, and assessing technological designs.
Students learn how inventions, innovations, and systems
are created and how technology becomes part of people's
lives. |

Technological Issues: A Standards-Based
High School Model Course Guide:
This guide will provide a model for a problems-based high
school course. It includes standards that are being addressed,
enduring understandings/concepts, lessons that include
hands-on problems, and unit, lesson and end-of-course
rubrics. Students investigate critical historical and
emerging issues affecting the creation, development, use,
and control of technology. Case studies, simulations,
