This summer, the new National Educational Technology Standards for Students were approved. They align with 21st Century skills and are no longer about learning technology, but about preparing students to use tools they will need to succeed in college and the work place.
In the October 2007 issue of eSchool News, an article entitled "NCLB renewal under way" says, "Educational technology advocacy groups are applauding the release of a House proposal to renew the federal No Child Left Behind Act that would direct funds toward training teachers in the use of technology and would help schools with low-income students buy computers and software. Also included in the proposal are measures that would emphasize college and workforce preparedness, 21st-century skills, and the use of data to inform instruction."
