Learning.com also has a very good Tech curriculum product from what I
have heard. We only use the assessment, but the EasyTech Product has
gotten very good reviews.

1) Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and
ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2) Anything that's invented between when you're 15 and 35 is new and
exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3) Anything invented after you're 35 is again the natural order of
things

Lance,
You might want to take a look at the programs and curriculum offered
at http://genyes.com/ They appear to have a comprehensive approach
to tech literacy as well as tech integration and a few other menu
choices. US DOE has cited them as an exemplary program. I have not
previewed, but I have read the reviews... See what you think!

After many arguments/discussions, staffing changes and teacher
rotation, it has finally been decided that we need some consistent
Tech Curriculum at the Middle School Level. For us taht is going to
be
grades 6-8.
What I am looking for is areas of concentration for kids that age,
textbooks (if any) or out right curriculum that any of you are using.
I have the strange feeling that this could make for a very long
summer
for me.
