 Parents want it! Parents want their children to graduate with skills that prepare them to either get a job in today's marketplace or advance to higher levels of education and training.  Employers want it! Employers want to hire employees who are honest, reliable, literate, and able to reason, communicate, make decisions, and learn.  Communities want it!: Communities want schools to prepare their children to become good citizens and productive members of society in an increasingly technological and information-based world.  And most of all… kids need it !!! All Children must be ready for a Different world

Within an effective educational setting, technology can enable students to become: ◦ Capable information technology users ◦ Information seekers, analyzers and evaluators ◦ Problem solvers and decision makers ◦ Creative and effective users of productivity tools ◦ Communicators, collaborators, publishers, and producers ◦ Informed, responsible, and contributing citizens, to live, learn and work successfully in an increasingly complex and information-rich society. Our Mission: Produce Technology-Fluent Kids

* Standard 3: Technology productivity tools  Students use technology tools to enhance learning, increase productivity, and promote creativity.  Students use productivity tools to collaborate in constructing technology-enhanced models, prepare publications, and produce other creative works. * Standard 4: Technology communication tools  Students use telecommunications to collaborate, publish, and interact with peers, experts, and other audiences.  Students use a variety of media and formats to communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences. * Ref. National educational technology standards for students (NETS)

 Interacting with technology is cognitive  We need to take into account cognitive processes involved and cognitive limitations of users  We can provide knowledge about what users can and cannot be expected to do  Identify and explain the nature and causes of problems users encounter Why do We Need to Understand Users?
