This document discusses key aspects of technology education including teaching, learning, leadership, assessment, and infrastructure. It emphasizes that as technology brings more opportunities, students must learn beyond the classroom with collaboration among educators. A balance of formative and summative assessments is needed to plan instruction. Solid infrastructure is required to support technology learning for all students. Ultimately, the future readiness of students depends on present commitments to their technological education.
