Students understand the ethical, cultural, and societal issues related to technology. Students practice responsible use of technology systems, information, and software. Students develop positive attitudes toward technology uses that support lifelong learning, collaboration, personal pursuits, and productivity. Students will be responsibly using technology tools to collaborate with their peers in an effort to solve a complex problem. In addition, students will validate the information collected from on-line sources by following a detailed process developed by the Maine Librarians Association.

Students use productivity tools to collaborate in constructing technology-enhanced models, preparing publications, and producing other creative works. Students will be developing their own solutions to many of the complex cloning issues. This project is highly student centered, and strong emphasis will be placed on students sharing their ideas and beliefs with others. Students use telecommunications to collaborate, publish, and interact with peers, experts, and other audiences.
