This document discusses implementing educational technology standards in secondary classrooms in Washington state. It outlines developing essential academic learning requirements and grade level expectations for technology literacy. The standards are meant to identify skills students need in areas like creativity, collaboration, research, problem solving, and digital citizenship. While standards can provide context for instruction, they cannot guarantee funding, teacher training, or network access. The document provides examples of grade level expectations and activities for locating and organizing information from various sources using technology.
