Credit: 1/4 Technology credit will be awarded upon successful completion of modules at Freshmen level. Sophomores will complete the Awareness, Safety, and Health modules to meet the Orange Schools Health and CIPA technology requirement.

Background and format: This blended learning program was initiated as the result of national and state requirements such as the Child Internet Protection Act and E-rate funding, respectively. It also addresses meets the national Common Core ELA/Literacy standards, the International Society for Technology in Education standards, and the American Association of School Librarians "Standards for the 21st Century Learner." Throughout the program, the student will complete purposefully designed work to review and reinforce the standards documented for each module and/or assignment. The format is considered "blended learning" because the students will be introduced to the work within existing courses, but will be required to complete and/or submit work independently to the Student Achievement Tool (Taskstream) for the purpose of preparing learners for future online coursework and professional development.
