This document discusses selecting appropriate tools to enhance learning based on curriculum goals and strategies. It recommends first identifying the learning objectives and then choosing tools like whiteboards, books, or computers that help achieve those objectives. It then provides examples of specific digital tools and online resources that can be used, including video platforms, graphic organizers, and archives of primary sources and speeches.

1. Literacy and Technology B Lesson 5

2. We should emphasize learning goals and strategies when planning lessons. We should then select tools that match purpose. Jamie McKenzie

3. The technology and applications we have explored in these sessions are tools that we can use to enhance learning based on the curriculum. We first must look at what we want the students to learn, and then how we might be able to achieve this using the tools we have – this may be a white board, a pencil, a book or even a computer.
