State Technology Plan

• Illinois also adopted as its technology literacy
  standards those delineated by the International
  Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) in the
  National Technology Education Standards (Appendix
  1). At its May 2002 State Board meeting, the
  Board endorsed the use of these standards for
  K-12 students These standards reflect the Six
  Essential Learnings for technology adopted by
  ISBE in 1995 (Appendix 2). ISBE will take actions
  to assure that Illinois educators, students and
  parents are aware of these standards and are
  addressing them in their educational planning and
  accountability.

Make the Metamorphosis
As you think about technology integration, start
small. Then as you feel more comfortable, add
technology resources and tools. Always remember
to focus on the learning outcome rather than the
technology itself.
