Since 2002, states have been required under NCLB to ensure that all students become technologically literate by eighth grade. However, this is the first year the Education Department is requiring states to report students' proficiencies -- a task most states are not yet equipped to execute, experts say.
In fact, most states do not have a formal assessment in place, experts say, adding that the resource is costly and complicated to construct. Further, education stakeholders question how much weight the new provision will have, given that technology literacy is not a component of schools' adequate yearly progress requirements.
