Assessing Technology in SD

In spring 2009, all eighth graders in SD will participate in a mandatory assessment based on their proficiency on educational technology standards. This online assessment is not hardware or software based, but emphasizes the educational technology standards that were adopted almost two ago, which include informational literacy, digital citizenship, and appropriate technology use. For more information on the assessment and standards, as well as a sample online assessment, read the article found here http://doe.sd.gov/educationonline/2008/December/art_article5.asp from the DOE Education Online.
