When asked to develop the original Technology Standards, adopted in 1997, the Committee did so without the benefit of seeing the integration of various technologies into other curricular standards. Over the past years, significant advances in technology have occurred... The Revision Committee analyzed current research on technology skills important to business and industry. [They] reviewed technology that is currently integrated into other content area standards with the vision that as other standards are revised, technology will be seamlessly integrated. The goal is to help students live, learn and work successfully and responsibly in an increasingly complex, technology-driven society. [Arizona] Technology Standards are designed to provide foundational skills and processes that students need in order to work productively and creatively in their studies, at work, and at home. Research on the transfer of learning strongly supports the position that instruction and educational activities should closely parallel the final desired behavior. It is essential that technology instruction be an integral part of a student's educational experience. Education's role is to help students meet the challenge of the future.
Technology is the application of tools to solve problems that extend human potential
