The digital divide is both a popular phrase and a
significant societal and economic challenge
today. The lack of fundamental digital literacy
is often prevalent within communities, corporate
organizations, and especially schools. A key
objective of No Child Left Behind (NCLB)
legislation is to bridge this digital divide by
ensuring every student is digitally literate
regardless of the students race, ethnicity,
gender, family income, geographic location, or
disability. Without question, IC³ plays a
critical role in this effortfrom Hawaii to
Vermont and everywhere in between. IC³ standards
meet the technology requirements of NCLB in
multiple areas. First, IC³ training and
certification provide the professional
development through electronic means for
teachers, administrators, and staff called for in
No Child Left Behinds Enhancing Education
Through Technology Act.

• Additionally, IC³ training and certification
  works to meet the NCLB goal to ensure every
  student is technologically literate by the time
  the student finishes the eighth grade.
• Educators find IC³ meets No Child Left Behind
  standards while providing the following benefits
  
• Data-driven decision making through reporting
  to show successful completion of NCLB
  requirements. Unbiased examination through
  psychometrically validated certification exams.
  Universal portability and relevance as a
  recognized global standard in digital literacy.
  A ready solution that is more cost effective and
  time efficient than assembling an assessment to
  meet national or local educational requirements.
  A professional development tool that boosts
  instructor confidence to integrate technology in
  the classroom.

No Child Left Behind

• By 2007, all outgoing eighth graders will be
  technology literate.
• It is the 2006 2007 school at this time, and
  there are no definitions or descriptions for
  technology literacy.
• There are references to NETS Standards
• Many successful districts are teaching to the
  IC3 certification standards

In the Spirit of the Middle School Model

• Implement the wheel so that all students get all
  the available electives in 6th grade
• In order to equip middle schoolers with computer
  literacy, require that all the students take a
  computer literacy class in 7th grade
• If any students do not meet the computer
  competency requiments, they can re-take it in
  8th grade in order to comply with NCLB
