Description

One-of-a-Kind Tourism Lesson Plans

Transform middle and high school students into savvy travel agents with innovative tourism lesson plans. In the TechnoTravel project, they research a destination of their choice, and then use the information to create a compelling travel advertisement for an enticing weekend getaway using PowerPoint or Google Slides. Spark student interest and integrate technology with tourism lesson plans.

Digital Literacy Course for Grades 6-12

Captivate students by guiding them through the creation of a travel advertisement. Use Google Docs or Microsoft Office to blend technology with social studies or geography. Pick a curriculum topic, local feature, environmental issue, historical site, or a personally meaningful location. The sample completed project on Niagara Falls triggers student creativity.

Play the Role of a Travel Agent

Following structured, step-by-step questions to research a destination, students craft presentations enticing viewers to embark on a weekend getaway. Armed with researched facts, practical advice, a thoughtfully scheduled itinerary, and persuasive language, students bring the destination to life. Educators receive a comprehensive list of ideas to seamlessly integrate the project into the curriculum, ranging from showcasing the local community to planning eco-friendly tours, exploring historical sites, following the footsteps of an explorer, and many others.

FAQ

View All FAQ

How long does it take to teach a course?

Every course includes a schedule. It lists the time recommended for each assignment. Typically, it takes between 30-60 minutes to complete an assignment depending on the grade level. Based on this time frame, a typical course takes between 360-600 minutes to complete. This is about 6-8 weeks if your students have computer class twice a week. However, if your students have computer class every day, a course can be completed in about 2-3 weeks.

How do I decide which assignments to teach?

You may not have the time to teach an entire TechnoKids course. The good news is that TechnoKids offers flexibility. Many courses can be shortened by omitting assignments or lengthened by including skill reviews and extension activities. You can easily adapt the course to suit your schedule. Refer to the Ideas for Implementation section in the teacher guide for suggestions.

Does the course integrate into other subjects?

TechnoKids courses are inter-disciplinary. This means the lesson plans blend computing skills with general content areas such as language arts, geography, or business studies. If you do not have a dedicated digital literacy class, refer to the Technology Integration Suggestions section in each teacher guide for ideas on how you can include the course in other subject areas.

Is the course a subscription?

Yes. When you purchase a course, you have access to the instructional materials for 12 months. After that time, should you want to continue, you will need to renew the subscription.

Is the course online?

Yes. You must sign into TechnoHub to access the course content from your bookshelf. The teacher guide and student workbook for a course are available online only. However, resources such as assessment tools, handouts, course slides, templates, and samples are downloadable.
