Arizona's Technology Literacy Assessment
eSchool News' May issue highlighted Arizona's technology literacy assessment efforts, and the use of Learning.com's TechLiteracy Assessment. Written by Cathy Poplin, Deputy Associate Superintendent for Educational Technology at the Arizona Department of Education, the article is titled "Arizona raising students' technology literacy."
"The exam not only provided data for our state reporting requirements; it also gave us invaluable information to help us better focus our grant-making efforts, and it gave local school and district leaders valuable insights into their own students' needs, as each district received the data from its schools, classrooms, and students."
See the full article. Registration is required.
