NJ Tech Literacy (NJTAP-IN)

I recently attended a State sponsored seminar on the New Jersey Technological Assessment for Proficiency and Integration (NJTAP-IN) and it is evident that there are increasing requirements and expectations for levels of teacher and student tech literacy.
For more detail see http://www.state.nj.us/education/techno/techlit/tapin/
What I came away with is that we need to report in October based upon the NJTAP-In General Rubric and for QSAC we have to have documentation to support our claims of assessing student tech literacy. E-portfolios would be one good example of supporting documentation and would be another resource to aid teachers in signing off on student tech proficiency rubrics.

Winter Professional Development Day at Holmdel

Our second professional development day of the year once again included a good amount of technology related sessions. Sessions were well attended on the use of the Tablet PC and OneNote application, developing a website with FrontPage, Internet Scavenger Hunt, Microsft Outlook and School Dude.
