Areas of Interaction provide connections among the disciplines and are a lens by which to view the subjects. These are the areas of interactions through technology. Approaches to learning will probably always be in your unit, but then one of the others should be in one of the others.
1. Approaches of Learning: Ability to communicate
a. Teamwork
b. Investigation/research
c. Time management
d. Reflection
2. Community & Service
a. Inspire projects
b. Learn to work as a community (safety)
c. Real world task
d. Support projects around the school
e. Technology use in different communities around the world
3. Health & Social (using email)

c. How behavior may affect others
d. Ergonomics

b. Using the design cycle
c. How products affect people
5. Environments (natural, built, virtual)

Students must know these and be able to apply the Approach to Learning and one other Area of Interaction to their personal projects. As well, teachers should always focus on one other Area of Interaction to each unit plan.
