Sample Curriculum

Each EasyTech curriculum unit includes lessons, activities, practices, discussions and quizzes. At the foundation of each unit are EasyTech Lessons — interactive, self-paced tutorials that teach students critical technology skills in the context of core curriculum and real world challenges. In addition, EasyTech Activities make it easy to integrate technology into what you already teach. Activities are core curriculum lesson plans, complete with lesson details, student worksheets, models of completed projects and a flexible rubric tool.

EasyTech's curriculum is also fully adapted for K-5 Spanish-speaking students. EasyTech introduces new skills and concepts in Spanish, and students listen to Spanish audio, read Spanish text, and respond in Spanish.

EasyTech's scoped and sequenced, standards-aligned curriculum provides a motivating and effective way for students to use technology to achieve success in the 21st Century.
