Evaluation Next Year Interests

Parents want it!Parents want their children to graduate with skills that prepare them to either get a job in today's marketplace or advance to higher levels of education and training.

Employers want it!Employers want to hire employees who are honest, reliable, literate, and able to reason, communicate, make decisions, and learn.

Communities want it!:Communities want schools to prepare their children to become good citizens and productive members of society in an increasingly technological and information-based world.

And most of all… kids need it!!!

All Children must be ready for a Different world

Within an effective educational setting, technology can enable students to become:◦ Capable information technology users ◦ Information seekers, analyzers and evaluators ◦ Problem solvers and decision makers ◦ Creative and effective users of productivity tools ◦ Communicators, collaborators, publishers, and producers ◦ Informed, responsible, and contributing citizens,

to live, learn and work successfully in an increasingly complex and information-rich society.

Our Mission: Produce Technology-Fluent Kids

Communication and Collaboration in the Classroom-ITC Skills for the 21st Century

* Standard 3: Technology productivity tools

Students use technology tools to enhance learning, increase productivity, and promote creativity.

Students use productivity tools to collaborate in constructing technology-enhanced models, prepare publications, and produce other creative works.

* Standard 4:

Technology communication tools Students use telecommunications to collaborate, publish, and interact

with peers, experts, and other audiences.

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

* Ref. National educational technology standards for students (NETS)

Interacting with technology is cognitive

We need to take into account cognitive processes involved and cognitive limitations of users

We can provide knowledge about what users can and cannot be expected to do

Identify and explain the nature and causes of problems users encounter

Why do We Need to Understand Users?
