7 Characteristics of Technically Literate Students
Technically literate students use technology in seven different ways to demonstrate understanding of the capabilities of technology. These seven ways represent the major roles of technology in society.
The Use of Technology
1. Using technology without assistance
2. Using technology in socially responsible waysThe Purpose of Technology
3. Using technology to aid production
4. Using technology to enhance communication
5. Using technology to improve research
6. Using technology to develop problem solving skills
7. Using technology for entertainment
The seventh characteristic may not be taught directly in school, but
should be a considering factor in a student’s education. All seven
of these characteristics are necessarily interrelated in the school
curriculum and society.
When assessing a student’s technology development, these attributes
should be the underlying principal on which the assessment rests. Questions
considering the effective use of technology should be made within the
context of these characteristics.
