Schools across the country are beginning to utilize a new technology called Curriculum Mapping. This is the idea of a school curriculum being posted on an intranet so that it is transparent to teachers and staff so that everyone can teach according to an overall thematic goal. This increases student retention and creates a more productive environment for the students.

As one of the main roles of education is to prepare students for positions in this fast paced and highly technological world, it is essential for information technology to be an integral part of the academic curriculum.

Effectively integrating technology into class curriculum is essential to developing students who are able to become productive members of society. NTeQ( iNtegrating Technology for inquiry) was designed to enable teachers to accomplish the need of successfully combining technology into the curriculum.
