Developed by the Technology Literacy by Eighth Grade Consortium, a collaboration among all 24 local school systems and the Maryland State Department of Education, these standards highlight what students need to know and be able to do using technology, while preparing them for a global economy and making technology an integral part of instruction. Accepted by the Maryland State Board of Education - February 2007.

This document is a companion to the Maryland Technology Literacy Standards for Students. This document is intended to provide guidance as to what computer skills students should know and be able to do independently at various levels (basic, intermediate, proficient) with specific types of software applications to enable them to access, manage, integrate, evaluate, create and communicate information.

[|Maryland Technology Literacy Standards for Teachers]
This [|website] provides additional information and professional development to support the implementation of these standards for teachers.

====[|Maryland Technology Literacy Standards for School Administrators] These standards were adapted from the ISTE NETS-A standards and identify the core knowledge and skills school administrators need to optimize the successful use of technology in teaching and learning at the school level. A toolkit was developed as a companion to the standards to interpret each of the indicators. In addition, school administrators can use the toolkit to determine their level of competency in meeting each of the technology standards. The toolkit also links to resources administrators can use to learn more about the successful use of technology as defined by each of the standards. ====
