Online Technology Degrees

Technology includes much more than the knowledge and skills related to computers and their applications. Technology is both a form of knowledge that uses concepts and skills from other disciplines (including science) and the application of this knowledge to meet an identified need or solve a specific problem using materials, energy, and tools (including computers). The method of technology consists of inventing or modifying devices, structures, systems, or processes. In Grade 5, for example, students are expected to design devices that can transform one form of energy into another.

Technology is also “a way of knowing” and a process of exploration and experimentation. Technological investigation involves the application of methods known as design processes, which in turn involve the use of concepts and procedures such as the identification of a need or problem and the selection of a best solution. In Grade 4, for example, students are expected to design, make, and test an optical device (e.g., a periscope, a kaleidoscope).
