SETDA SETDA - States Helping States TECHNOLOGY LITERACY ASSESSMENT
Key Questions
Why should states be concerned with making sure students are technologically literate by eighth grade? How will they assess technology literacy?
One of the goals of Title II, Part D of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) is to assist every student in crossing the digital divide by ensuring that every student is technologically literate by the time the student finishes the eighth grade, regardless of the student's race, ethnicity, gender, family income, geographic location, or disability. In most states, educational technology directors have the final responsibility for ensuring that their students meet this goal.
