Technology Literacy Requirements / Definitions / Responsibilities / Reporting / Toolkit / Q&A

A portion of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act is the Enhancing Education Through Technology Act of 2001, also known as Title IID and/or E2T2. The goal of E2T2 is: To assist every student in crossing the digital divide by ensuring that every student is technologically literate by the time the student finishes the eighth grade, regardless of the student’s race, ethnicity, gender, family income, geographic location, or disability.
Each state is required by NCLB mandates and the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education's (OESE) measures under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) to report on:

• Number of computers available to students and the type of Internet access (Building Level)
• Technology Literacy at the end of 8th Grade (LEA)

Rhode Island must be in compliance and reporting to the federal government by the end of the 2008-09 school year. 

By the 2009-2010 school year, additional requirements will include:

• Personnel Skilled in Technology (LEA)
• Integrated Technology Status (LEA)
