The standards serve to identify what it means for a student to be technologically literate. These standards will help all Maryland’s students by emphasizing the importance of understanding technology and how technology:

  • relates to themselves and society

  • helps them learn and collaborate with others

  • can be used for communication and expression of ideas

  • can be used for research

  • can be used for problem solving and decision making

 

Ensuring technology literacy for all students in Maryland will help them compete in an evolving global society.
