Abstract

The author reflects on the definition of technological literacy as it relates to the standard set in the No Child Left Behind Act. He comments that technological literacy involves more than having the knowledge to move digital images and information from one location to another. He describes the goal of technological literacy as a two-part challenge involving basic technical skills along with preparing students to use their skills to digest and assimilate the information they encounter.; The author reflects on the definition of technological literacy as it relates to the standard set in the No Child Left Behind Act.
