26. Planning for 2013-2016

27. Students Who are College and Career Ready • In planning and writing the next plan we collected information and input from a large variety of areas • State and National Standards • Surveys of students, staff, teachers, and administrators • Feedback from Tech Advisory

28. Students Who are College and Career Ready Use technology and digital media strategically and capably. Students employ technology thoughtfully to enhance their reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language use. They tailor their searches online to acquire useful information efficiently, and they integrate what they learn using technology with what they learn offline. They are familiar with the strengths and limitations of various technological tools and mediums and can select and use those best suited to their communication goals. -Common Core State Standards

29. “EdTech is Integral” • “Technology is a fundamental and necessary part of classroom life. It’s not a treat. And it’s not just for some kids and not all. Technology is a basic building block of K–12 education today.” -Randy Dorn Superintendent of Public Instruction

30. “EdTech is Integral” • Educational technology is no longer a standalone component of public K–12 education—separate from administration, teaching, learning and assessment.

31. “EdTech is Integral” • EdTech is integral to the state’s online testing initiative, which will expand significantly with the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) assessments in 2014-15.

32. “EdTech is Integral” • The K–12 system will find it increasingly difficult to graduate college- and career-ready students without significant attention paid to technology literacy. As with any subject, the need to build knowledge and skills begins in the elementary grades and continues into a student’s senior year.

33. Washington State Technology Standards • Students should be technologically fluent and technologically literate

34. Washington State Technology Standards • Technology Literacy is the ability to responsibly, creatively and effectively use appropriate technology to: • Communicate. • Access, collect, manage, integrate and evaluate information. • Solve problems and create solutions • Build and share knowledge. • Improve and enhance learning in all subject areas and experiences.

35. Washington State Technology Standards • Technology Fluency is demonstrated when students: • Apply technology to real-world experiences. • Adapt to changing technologies. • Modify current and create new technologies. • Personalize technology to meet personal needs, interests and learning style.
