Standards I
Informed Decision Making
Use technology-related terms, concepts, data input strategies, and ethical practices to make informed decisions about current technologies and their applications.
Today's Technology Application teacher must
strive to stay abreast of the ever changing
technology in our world. We must be aware
of how these technologies impact our world.
Although the basics remain the same, they are
still constantly undergoing changes and
refinements, and newer technologies and their
applications are becoming more available and in
demand in the work places of our world.
Students must be aware of and be able to use the
terms, concepts, and data input strategies when
they graduate and enter the work force or
continue their education. As
the van guard for preparing our students to work
in this technology enriched world we must
constantly strive to keep abreast of these
changes. We must constantly work to incorporate
the new technologies and software into our
curriculum that the 'real' world is using in
order to prepare our students. We must
also set an example for our students in the
proper etiquette and correct ethical practices
in the use of the technologies and software.
Through exposure to new software programs and
technologies that emerge in the future that will
impact my students, I hope to be able to share
with them what I learn. I plan on
attending workshops presented by our Service
Center and trial software that is available from
the Internet. I also hope to continue to
stay in contact with members of the TATC classes
and be able to share ideas and information with
them to help keep 'on top' of things.

Title: Discussion 2: Impact Reports
Course: 100 Foundations: Module 2-Impact of the
Technology Applications on Society
Date Created: August 13, 2002
Source: Group Project in Foundations
Module in web page format
Media: Adobe Go Live web authoring
software, Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat 5.0
Description: The learners of
Foundations 100-1 were divided into groups of
four to analyze the impact on society through
research, interviews, and personal observations
of one of the TA subjects. Our group
choose Web Authoring and my task was to research
and report on the impact of Web Authoring at the
present time. The reports main goal was
to be a resource for others interested in our TA
subject.
The company members responsibilities were:
 | One person was to volunteer to be the
company leader |
| The company leader was responsible for
compiling the report with input from the
company members and posting the final report. |
| Each company member should have three or
more resources attributed to them. |
The company report submitted should have:
| A brief introduction as to the TA subject |
| A brief history of the impact of the
specified TA |
| Resources listed with a brief summary of
each resource site |
| Two or more resources should be referenced
to each company member with the exception of
the group leader. |
During the course of our group project we
demonstrated the use of digital keyboarding
standards for data input, modeled the ethical
acquisition use of digital information by citing
our sources and made informed decisions about
current technologies and their applications as
to Web Authoring when choosing the information
and sites to include in the report.
Rationale: This was the first group
project that we worked on. I wanted to
include this artifact because I believe it shows how a
group can collaborate on-line together to complete a
task, make the project more informative because
of the division of tasks, teach the student the
value of organization, scheduling, and
cooperation. It also demonstrates the
properties of Standard I.
Implications for future: This type of
group collaboration to create a finished product
can be used in the classroom to enable students
to create a better quality of resources and
reports than perhaps the individual could do in
a shorter amount of time. It will also
provide the students the opportunity to
incorporate Standard I principles as well as the
other indicated TEKS.
Reviewers Comments:
Congratulations to you and
your group. You did a great job at
researching the impact of technology. Your
portion, the impact on today, was concise, easy
to read, and informative.
