I'll bet many of your readers are working in districts that have already adopted, or are in the process of adopting, ISTE NETS for their district tech plans. I'm in one of those districts. Before the district will officially adopt tech standards (or any standards), the review committee would like to see benchmarks, same as in the content areas. As you have pointed out, technology literacy is not a subject or discipline. But in glancing through the <a href="http://www.edweek.org/media/nagb_assessment_devel_comm_aug_7-09.pdf" rel="nofollow">NEAP draft</a> just posted by the Nat'l Assess Governing Board, I really like the three main areas: Technology & Human Society; the Effects of Technology on the Natural World; Effects of Technology on the World of Information and Knowledge - and the rubric provided for each area. The breakdown into grades 4/8/12 with a statement of what students should know AND what they should be able to do, I think, will ensure that the assessment is not limited to computer labs and hopefully fosters integration across the curriculum. Very exciting news, Gail Sylvia,

You know, in Texas we are programmed to believe any assessment not created by Pearson has to be faulty. Prove 'em wrong! ;) Enjoy the group. It looks like you are in for a challenge with a possibly great outcome. Congrats, Sylvia. You know, in Texas we are programmed to believe any assessment not created by Pearson has to be faulty.
