Honestly, I think that the idea of integrating technology standards with content standards is a good one. From what I have read, integrating CSO's with technology standards seems to make sense. I think it would be very helpful for the elementary teachers. There is already so much technology being used in the classroom by both the student and the teacher, that it would naturally make perfect sense to go ahead and integrate the two. Our world is quickly moving more and more towards technology...everything seems to be run by computers these days. The more you know about technology, the better off you are in life, whether it be at work or at home, etc. People will automatically have more job opportunities the more they know about and how to use technology. In my opinion, it is a very wise decision to set technology standards within the content standards for the students to meet.

I agree that it does make sense to make to include technology as a part of content standards.It is becoming critical for job opportunities like you mentioned, and everyone should have equal training in school. It is crazy to think how much education is going to change, but it also is exciting to see what is going to happen.
God bless,

Brittany~ The more developed the technology standards are hopefully, the easier it will be for teachers to integrate the use of technology into their classrooms. You are right it is a critical part of life now for people to have some sort of knowledge in the world of technology to get a job, to find a book at the library, to self-checkout at the store, etc.:) Life will only become that much more dependent upon the world of technology as things rapidly change. Even if you have an opportunity to interview for a teaching position, you will probably be asked about your experience with technology and how you would integrate it into your classroom. Fun to think about, isn't it?
