Integrating Technology Into the Curriculum
forward, practical project ideas for using each software program as a tool for learning. Let these project ideas be a springboard to spark ideas for software use in your own classroom. As you read through Chapter Three, keep in mind that you can use a software program with your students even if you only have minimal experience with it. Choose a single simple task, show the students one or two skills, pair students, and give them a task to complete.

Before you begin reading Chapter Three, check your knowledge to see how much you know about software programs.
