Technology Literacy Assessment

Posted by psteffen on October 12, 2006

You completed the 20 questions that are a sample of the Technology Literacy Assessment that our 8th graders must pass to meet the NCLB requirement that 8th graders must be Technology Literate.  The test has both multiple choice questions and performance task questions.  In the performance tasks the student must do everything correctly to receive credit for the question including spelling file names correctly.  Questions are based on the Arizona State Technology Standards. 

Share what you think in terms of how prepared our students and teachers are to pass this test and what we need to do to meet the goal of preparing our students to be technologically literate by 8th grade.
