4. Jefferson felt
strongly enough
about the
important
relationship
between literacy
and success as a
people and a
nation that he
presented an
amendment to
legalize federal
support for public
5. In the current age of
information we are in,
literacy is essential to
enable groups,
societies, and
individuals to access
the best information in
the shortest time to
identify and solve
problems, and then
communicate this
information to others.
6. Technological literacy drives the
education and society. It is
necessary for individuals to not
only gain knowledge about math,
science, English, etc., to
integrate successfully into
modern society, but to
understand and be fluent in
technology.
7. Integrating technology
into education allows
us to teach not only the
traditional skills
required, but also
provide individuals with
the vital skills in
technology they also
require.
8. Using technology in the classroom is the best
way to teach future generations not only the
information and skills vital to their success in
society, such as math, science, English,
history, etc., but to also increase their
technological literacy in a way that is critical to
their future success in the workforce and
society.
9. Technology provides a give and a take. It provides new ways to teach individuals
information and skills, allowing us to reach students and individuals in ways that
we have only just become available. It also, though, requires knowledge and
technological literacy to use properly and to its fullest capabilities.
10. As the nature of literacy continues to change and advance,
we continue in our goal to teach individuals the skills
necessary for their success. This involves not only learning
to use technology, but using technology to learn.
