Are there content standards for Technology Education?
The content standards can be found in the Technology Education Voluntary State Curriculum (VSC). The VSC is aligned to the International Technology Education Association’s (ITEA) Standards for Technological Literacy: Content for the Study of Technology. The State Board of Education also approved new Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR) that aligns to the VSC that became effective in September 2007. How does Technology Education differ from Educational Technology? Technology Education is a study of technology, which provides an opportunity for students to learn about the processes and knowledge related to technology that is needed to solve problems and extend human capabilities. Whereas, Educational Technology is the use of technology to support student learning and instruction. It includes all the electronic tools, both hardware and software, that assist individuals in their ability to acquire and communicate information.
