It’s been a little quiet on the blog lately! As a new academic year begins the amount of reflection time (ironically) often diminishes.

We are re-aligning the grades of our middle and high schools, and this provides an opportunity to develop a revised program of study. All this background to pose a question for our conversation…
What should an 8th grader be able to know and do with technology when they exit our middle school?
ISTE’s National Educational Standards for Students (NETSS) provide a great framework, but I’m interested in the less formal, in-the-trenches answer that you might have in mind. Our digital natives are bringing increased skills to the table, how will we respond?
