What technology standards should schools use? How do educators integrate technology standards across their curriculum? What are the frameworks for technology standards? These and other questions are answered in Skip Via and Mark Standley's Technology Standards: A LeaderÕs Manual, one of two new additions to VisionsÕ Leadership Series. Designed to help educators successfully merge technology into the classroom, this useful manual provides information about several state and national technology standards, which emphasize how students should think, inquire, work with information, communicate with others, and appreciate technologyÕs role in society. Also presented are tools and frameworks for using technology standards in the classroom, strategies for assessment, and references and links to technology standards across the nation.

"Information technology is now both a valuable component of the content and a useful tool in each academic discipline. This means that each academic discipline needs to rethink its standards, and it must appropriately weave techology into these standards. This book provides a good starting point for such endeavors."
