| | The California Department of Education (CDE) provided the following definitions of Technology Literacy and Curriculum Integration proficiency goals in the Consolidated State Performance Report to the U.S. Department of Education, as well as in EETT Competitive RFAs.
Technology Literacy is the ability to use appropriate technology responsibly to communicate, to solve problems, and to access, create, integrate, evaluate, and manage information to improve learning of state content standards in all subject areas and to acquire lifelong knowledge and skills in the 21st century.
Curriculum Integration involves the infusion of technology as a tool to enhance the learning of state content standards in a content area or multidisciplinary setting. Technology integration enables students to learn in ways not previously possible. Effective integration of technology is achieved when students are able to select technology tools to help them obtain information in a timely manner, analyze and synthesize the information, and present it professionally. The technology should become an integral part of how the classroom functions – as accessible as all other classroom tools.
However, the CDE has not created or adopted any benchmark standards and assessments for these K-12 Tech Literacy and Curriculum Integration goals. Instead, the CDE allows district flexibility in defining and measuring grade level technology proficiency. | |
