Technology Skills Education prepares students to demonstrate knowledge, skills, and understanding of concepts related to technology. By using technology resources to collect and analyze data, interpret results, and communicate findings to maximize student learning.

• Know the basic operations of computer hardware and software
• Use appropriate keyboarding techniques (as grade-level appropriate)
• Have a basic understanding of the three main applications (word processing, spread sheets, and presentation software)
• Be able to navigate, retrieve, and site information off the internet and data bases
• Have a basic understanding of social, legal, and ethical issues relating to computer technology
