What is ITES?Information and Technology Essential Standards

1. The ITES are to be embedded within all areas of the other curriculum,

2. Classroom teachers are responsible for teaching the new ITES standards beginning in 2011-12.

3. Media Coordinators and Technology Facilitators, as ITES content experts, will collaborate with teachers to plan, create, teach, and assess effective student instruction.

4. The ITES must be taught in all NC schools – in places where technology is prevalent as well as in schools with limited technology access.

5. Technology and information tools and resources must be taught and used in authentic ways.

Information and Technology Essential Standards

• NC 9-12 Essential Standards

JigSaw Activity

• Each group will be given one of the “Fast Facts” about ITES.

• Each group’s task is to discuss this statement, come to consensus about what it means, and describe an example of what this looks like.

• Each group will conclude this activity by sharing their learning with the whole group.

Jigsaw Tasks

• 1 minute to move to groups• 1minute to select leader, timekeeper, reporter,

speaker• 5 minutes to discuss strand • 2 minutes to formulate definition• 2 minutes to formulate example• 2 minutes to formulate instructional changes• 2 minutes as time to report
