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.
