STUDENT TECHNOLOGY STANDARDS
Technology Foundation Standards for All
Students
The technology foundation standards for
students are divided into six broad categories. Standards within each
category are to be introduced, reinforced, and mastered by students.
These categories provide a framework for linking performance indicators
within the Profiles for Technology Literate Students to the standards.
Teachers can use these standards and profiles as guidelines for planning
technology-based activities in which students achieve success in learning,
communication, and life skills.
