  Not content to express themselves in text, young people now use other resources for "making meaning online, including image, sound, color, space, avatars, video, and movement," writes Rebecca W. Black, an education professor at the University of California, Irvine, and Constance Steinkuehler, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, in the newly published Handbook of Adolescent Literacy Research.

    How would you define tech literacy? Tell us in DD's forum.
    
    "What has struck me from the get-go, as a technology-literacy teacher, is it's so nebulous," says Carole L. Colburn, who teaches at Highlander Way Middle School in Howell, Mich. "There is no definition of what really makes a student technology-literate, or technologically literate."
  - nt efforts to promote technology literacy culminated at the federal level in a national goal, adopted seven years ago in the No Child Left Behind Act, that all students be technology-literate by 8th grade. The federal law left it to states, however, to define the concept and persuade schools to teach it.
  - State and school district efforts generally draw heavily on standards developed by the International Society for Technology in Education, or ISTE, as well as more recent curriculum frameworks released by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills, an education and industry coalition. In November, for example, the partnership and the National Council of Teachers of English published a framework that models how 21st-century skills can be infused into English classes.
    
    A few curriculum and testing companies have responded to market demand for technology-literacy products.
    
    The Princeton, N.J.-based Educational Testing Service created the iSkills Assessment, a test to measure critical thinking and problem-solving in a digital environment. Although it is designed for college freshmen, the test has been used in some high schools.
    
    And Learning.com, a company based in Portland, Ore., sells a technology-literacy curriculum for K-8 students, to help them apply technology skills in math, language arts, social studies, and science. The company also offers a technology-proficiency assessment, adopted by Texas for a two-year pilot program ending in December 2009 and involving about 7,200 students.
  - four different methods of reporting the percentage of students who are technologically literate by the 8th grade, according to Colburn. A district may report the percentage of students who pass an assessment; who demonstrate technology literacy by creating an electronic portfolio; who have successfully completed a class in technology literacy; or whom teachers simply have observed as meeting criteria for being technologically literate.
  - n December, the steering and planning committees appointed by the National Assessment Governing Board, which sets policy for NAEP, were scheduled to meet in Washington to start creating a framework for the new evaluation, to be added to the federally sponsored assessment on a pilot basis in 2012.
    
    The test will be "totally computer-based," says Steven A. Schneider, an official at WestEd, a nonprofit research and policy firm, located in Redwood City, Calif., which was awarded the contract to develop the framework and the specifications for the test.
  - tudents' ability to compete in a global marketplace and to keep pace with quickly evolving technology.
  - Schneider says that although the test framework will provide a clear statement of what technological literacy entails, those twin goals may also be sources of tension.
    
    The framework is apt to be biased toward technology skills practical to assess on NAEP, which would downplay long-term science activities, for example.
  - but I really don't think it's necessary," says Donald G. Knezek, the chief executive officer of the Washington-based ISTE, which recently released the second edition of its widely used National Educational Technology Standards for students.
  - "loaded with engineering types," as well as a representative from the International Technology Education Association, which has developed curricula and activities around STEM and design. "Their definition of technological literacy is much more industrial and career-oriented," he says. "Our definition is much more ICT—information and communication and learning technologies."
  - Kathleen Tyner, the author of Literacy in a Digital World.
    
    "There is sort of a turf war, so people can support their fields—library science, educational technology, and so on. You can see various aims and purposes. That's why their definitions overlap," says Tyner, a professor in the radio, television, and film program at the University of Texas at Austin.
  - By definition, literacy skills are those that everyone should have for civic participation; they should be skills within reach of just about everyone and be useful for a lifetime, Tyner says.
  - n the book, "Technically Speaking ," the national academies of engineering describe the need to expand the consideration of technology far beyond what is presented in this article.
  - uspect that well scripted works like this will continue to be more prevalent as a major issue is really about the profits of the next generation of IT equipment hits the market from IT manufacturers and retailers.
  - echnology education as defined by the National Standards for Technological Literacy, authored by the International Technology Education Association, is the defining authority on the study of technology as a subject to be studied in schools.
  - This is a David and Goliath situation with billion dollar industries lining up to make incredible profits from the education community pitted against dedicated educators whose primary objective is to prepare students to be knowledgeable citizens about all aspects of technology.
