Background

• How did we get here?
• 7/1/05 -- ICT literacy standards became effective
  as part of the revision to all of the School
  Approval Standards
• DOE has been issuing Technical Advisories since
  January 2006 to help districts better understand
  the new standards

ICT Info Sessions

• January/February 2006
• All six Educational Support Centers held ICT
  literacy information sessions
• To provide further clarity about the requirements
  within the standards and the great amount of
  latitude which districts have to implement them

5
ICT Assistance Sessions

• May/June 2006
• All Centers host assistance workshops
• 3 common objectives
• Inform district teams of pertinent materials
• Assist districts to identify ICT within curricula
• Create common tools to help assess ICT
• (micro level assessment rubrics used to assess
  individual classroom activities, not the whole
  portfolio)

6
Summer Institute 2006

• Todays work and the work of similar sessions at
  the other Centers will inform the ICT summer
  institute work of creating some common assessment
  rubrics for assessing student portfolios.

Why ICT?

• See SITES Module 2 Report (ISTE Publication) p.
  83-84
• In the knowledge economy and information
  society, citizens need to be able to search for,
  analyze, and manage huge amounts of information
  they also must be able to use that information to
  solve complex problems and create new knowledge
  and cultural products.

Why ICT?

• See SITES Module 2 Report (ISTE Publication) p.
  83-84
• Instead of measuring the extent to which
  students are able to reproduce knowledge,
  assessment must measure students ability to
  apply knowledge in realistic settings.
