Curriculum Development

During this section of the webquest, small groups will develop a technology-enhanced, project-based learning unit. The development steps are based on a curriculum development model. You can explore the model online.

Before beginning the development process, the group will need to decide how to keep track of its work.   While paper and pencil notes are fine, there are a variety of digital options that may facilitate development:

• Inspiration: The original curriculum development model is available (Inspiration, GIF)
• Word Processor: A Planning Guide is available (Word, Acrobat)
• Wiki: If groups would like to explore this collaborative tool, one is available for use at http://www.simplykaren.org/wiki.
• Online tool: NRTEC offers an excellent online lesson planning tool: http://www.ncrtec.org/tl/lp/
• Online Bookmarking Tool: PortaPortal or delicious

Curriculum Development Steps:

• Step One: Choose a topic
• Step Two: Identify Aims, Goals and Objectives
• Step Three:  Finding and Developing Resources
• Step Four:  Assessment
