Objectives

t is essential for the teacher to enter the classroom each day with a specific goal in mind. Otherwise, result-oriented teaching cannot take place. Daily teaching objectives should correlate with national or state standards in order to ensure that the classroom reaches the desired result. The following objectives are realistic, feasible and compliant with standards established by the state of Florida and by national standards for technology, or NETS. There is one objective for each of three technology courses taught at Dade Christian School, those being Computer Applications, Computer Programming and Web Site Design. Consequently, the materials, articles and activities included in this website correspond with those three courses, respectively.
