Technology Goals Matrix

2004-2005

Sunset View Elementary has used San Diego City Schools’ Technology Foundations: K–12 Knowledge and Skills Matrix to identify the technology goals for our students K-4. While this matrix identifies 18 foundational technology areas and their encompassing skills used in K–12 education, our document reflects foundations for only grades kindergarten through fourth grade. It mirrors the National Educational Technology Standards for Students (NETS), which are attached. Each knowledge and skill foundation supports one or more of the national standards.

Instructional Key
The knowledge and skills content within each area is presented in activities across the K–12 curriculum with a teaching level of instruction key:

A= Awareness Level The student is exposed to the technology as it is being used by others.

G= Guided Level The student begins to use the technology with the help of others.

I= Independent Level The student uses the technology without assistance.

M= Mastery The student is competent in using the technology and is able to teach others.

O= Optional Skill is viewed as Optional within the curriculum.

4 Technology communications tools

Ø Students use telecommunications to collaborate, publish, and interact with peers, experts, and other audiences.

Ø Students use a variety of media and formats to communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences.

5 Technology research tools

Ø Students use technology to locate, evaluate, and collect information from a variety of sources.

Ø Students use technology tools to process data and report results.

Ø Students evaluate and select new information resources and technological innovations based on the appropriateness for specific tasks.
