Ohio’s Learning Standards for Technology
The 2017 Ohio Learning Standards for Technology are the work of Ohio educators. Education professionals from across the state made up the Advisory and Working Groups responsible for revising the 2003 Standards. This collaboration brought together representatives from K-12 and higher education, education service centers and state technology agencies and associations; participants from urban, rural and suburban areas; and a range of educators that included teachers; technology coordinators and coaches; library media specialists; technology educators; curriculum directors and administrators. Regional focus groups open to all Ohio educators and an online survey open to the public provided feedback on the revisions. The process produced a rigorous set of technology learning standards that reflect the varied perspectives of Ohio residents.
Invitation for Public Comment- Revision of Ohio’s Learning Standards for Technology
The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce is seeking public comment on the current Ohio Learning Standards for Technology as we work to instill in students a broad, rich, understanding of technology and its effective use and role in their world – an understanding they need to become technology-literate citizens. The education community and public are invited to provide suggestions for improving the 2017 Technology standards through a public comment survey. The survey will be open through June 7 at 4 p.m. The Department will review and consider all feedback for revisions of the standards. To learn more about the standards review and revision process, visit the Standards and Model Curriculum Overview.

The 2017 Ohio Learning Standards for Technology
The 2017 Ohio Learning Standards for Technology define what students need to know and be able to do to succeed in a technological world. Revised from the 2003 Ohio Technology Academic Content Standards, the 2017 standards incorporate three key technology disciplines:
- Information and Communications Technology
- Society and Technology
- Design and Technology
Organized by grade bands, these strands provide three lenses through which kindergarten through grade 12 students consider and engage with technology. Together, they instill in students a broad, rich understanding of technology and its effective use and role in their world— an understanding students need to become technology-literate citizens.
* During the revision process, the Advisory Group, Working Group and Department used the following resources: the International Society for Technology in Education Standards (ISTE), the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association Standards (ITEEA), the Australian Curriculum Technologies Content Descriptions (ACARA) and Ohio’s Learning Standards (to ensure alignment across content areas).
