In West Rutland, we faced the same question about a year ago... I did some research and concluded 1) "tools" for measuring technology skills are either for research and not skills-based or skills-based and not validated; 2) the "tools" that are around are out-of-date (severely)-- I showed them to high school students and they laughed "who really does that anymore?" was a typical response. So... I drafted a list of 30 things that I think are "essential skills" for educators, and we have been working from that... the list I put together is on Lulu (http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/30skills/7157349) and also on my web site (http://hackscience.net/30skills/) I am in the middle of drafting the second edition... I am not sure this is what you are looking for, but it is our solution to a similar problem. -- Dr. Gary L.

We are considering a "required" check list of skills or proficiency and hope to update them based on the new NETS-T. Of course, then we have to decide how to assess these skills, so any information about how your district or school does any formal or informal teacher assessment of tech skills would be appreciated. Privately/off list is fine. Thanks in advance.
