Terminology
Technological literacy is the ability to use,manage, assess, and understand technology.
Technology Education is a study oftechnology, which provides an opportunity forstudents to learn about the processes andknowledge related to technology that areneeded to solve problems and extend human
capabilities.
Technology is the modification of the naturalenvironment in order to satisfy perceivedhuman needs and wants.

Three Prevalent Misconceptions
Technology is applied ScienceThe lack of technological literacy is compounded by
one prevalent misconception: When asked to
define technology, most individuals reply with thearchaic and mostly erroneous, idea thattechnology is applied science (Bybee, 2000, pg.23).

Cannot escape the realitythat
Most advances in science are based ontechnology.
S-T-S theme introduces even the naveperson to the pervasive nature of technologyin our society.
It is in the interest of science, scienceeducation, and society to help students andall citizens develop a greater understandingand appreciation for some of thefundamental concepts and processes oftechnology and engineering (Bybee, 2000,p. 23-24).

Guiding Principles BehindStandards for Technological Literacy
The standards and benchmarks were
created with the following guiding principles:
They offer a common set of expectations for whatstudents should learn in the study of technology.
They are developmentally appropriate for students.
They provide a basis for developing meaningful,
relevant, and articulated curricula at the local, state,
and provincial levels.
They promote content connections with other fields
of study in grades K-12.
They encourage active and experiential learning.

Understands:
What technology is
How technology is created
How the use of technology shapes society and inturn,
How society shapes the development oftechnology

Standards vs. Benchmarks
Standards are the target
Benchmarks are provided as a guide to
begin implementation, but there may beadditional benchmarks needed for yourparticular situation.

Grade 6-8 Benchmark SampleStandard 11: Students are able to apply the design process,including manipulative and mental abilities, in order to solvetechnological problems.As part of learning how to apply design processes, students in grades 6-8
should be able to
Identify and select a need, want, or problem to solve.Specify goals of the problem to be solved.Research the design and generate possible solution ideas. Identify criteria and specify constraints.Explore various processes and resources and select and use the most
appropriate ones.Develop a design proposal that meets established criteria and constraints.Make a model of the proposed solution.
Test and evaluate the design in relation to pre-established criteria andconstraints and refine as needed.Based on the results of the tests and evaluation, improve the design solution.Make a product or system and document the procedures and results.Use a design portfolio, journal, drawing, sketch, or schematic to document
ideas, processes, and results.

The Challenge
Blending depth and breadth in aproperly balanced ratio
Making choices, compromises, andsacrifices
Highlighting Big ideas
Pursuing essential questions in depthProviding as much direct experience aspossible to give meaning to key ideas
