Cech, S.J. (2008). Tests of tech literacy still not widespread despite NCLB goals; Education Week; http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2008/01/3021techtests.h27.html?
*not all students in 2008 are "technologically literate"
*to be "technologically literate" need to know how to operate hardware, software AND analyze information that flows through the
machines. They must be able to EVALUATE digital content, while using this content creatively and ethically to communicate with
others.
*as of yet, we still don't have a national tool for measuring "technological literacy".
*there is a bill introduced this year called ACHIEVEMENT THROUGH TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION ACT that would uniformly
define what student tech literacy should be.
What I read here is that although technology is an appliance as noted earlier, there still isn't a framework for what students should learn technologically in school nor do we know who, specifically, should teach this.
