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,
research, design and problem solving, and group discussions
and presentations are ways that student teams address
complex issues and propose alternative solutions to technological
developments. Global governmental, social, and economic
policies concerning technology are also studied. Mathematics
and science concepts are integrated into the content,
lessons and rubrics.
