The special topics included here focus on competencies from the curriculumfor which materials were not readily available to Alaskan teachers, and provide information which may not be sufficiently covered by existing curricula. Each unit begins with a teacher page which includes the competency and task(s) from the industrial Education Curriculum covered- in the unit, an overview of the unit, anda list of resources for- more, information on the unit topic. Not all of the resources have been approved by the Alaska Department of Education, so insicuctors should be sure to previewany materials before using them in the classroom. The informational materials which follow the teacher page have been designed for students' use. Many of the concepts covered are complex, and students would benefit greatly from hands-on activities to clarify the concepts. All of the units in this publication deal with fields whichare constantly changing.New developments in technology affect communications, mining, petroleum, forestry and logging, and commercial fishing undustries; the units on .hose areas seek to inform students ofthe uses and effects of technology.The high technology unit deals specifically with current and projected developments in technology, and the unit on technological impacts describes the effects of technology on the environment and on society. What is considered "high tech" today will probably be outmoded in the near future.Students mist therefore focus not only on the way:, in which industry operates in the present, but also on ways to adapt to the continuously changing technologies.It is hoped that the materials in this publication will provide students with a means of learning about industry and with an understanding of the effects of changing technology.
