The document summarizes an ITES (Information and Technology Essential Standards) presentation at East Cary Middle School. It discusses sources of information, technology as a tool, the research process, and safety/ethical use. Teachers are encouraged to integrate more technology into instruction, include information skills in lessons, and collaborate on planning. The presentation reconvenes later to debrief and plan for upcoming months with an emphasis on improving technology skills.
