Curriculum Linking with Technology Uses Curriculum linking provides "topics" for

technology skills or uses.

Content learning incidental—student uses primarily to learn/practice technology skills.

Curriculum Linking with Technology Uses Curriculum linking adapts or varies present

student learning or work.

Content learning experiences or benefits are enhanced but possible without the use of technology.

Curriculum Linking with Technology Uses Curriculum linking creates unique content

learning benefits.

Content learning experiences/benefits are extended and would be impaired or impossible without the use of technology.
