= Technology Literacy Standards for Maryland =

This wiki will be devoted to information about the technology literacy standards for students, teachers, and administrators.
All students in 7th grade all across the state of Maryland will be taking the MMSTL (Maryland Measure for Student Technology Literacy) during this time frame to measure their technology proficiency. The state is using [|Learning.com] to deliver the assessments after being selected using and RFP process under the directions of the TLC consortium. Results of the assessment will be reported to the federal government as required by NCLB, and local districts will also have access to the data to improve professional development in the area of technology integration.
 * Student Assessment Dates: December, 08 - January - '09**

The asssessments for teachers and administrators will be implemented in the Spring of 2009 to a random sampling.


 * ===Maryland Technology Literacy Standards for Students Prek - 8===
 * February, 2007: The State Board of Education approved these standards as part of the VSC**. The TL8 consortium has been charged with developing a measurement tool that can be used to gauge student technology literacy by the time they are in eighth grade. This data must be reported to MSDE in the Fall of 2009. Nancy Grasmick wants one tool to be used across all districts. Each member was asked to gather feedback from each district about what is thought to be the best tool for this job. We will share at the 10/3 meeting and I will report back what was discussed.* This grant is also writing the Maryland Technology Literacy Standards for Students in grades 9-12 and will finish those in May of 2008. We are using the same standards as with the prek- 8 students, but adding more rigor and trying to make them apply to all subject areas. The consortium is scheduling numerous focus groups from across the state to get feedback on what we have written thus far, and also to help identify gaps.
