ICT Fluency and High School Graduation Outcomes
	The Center for Education (CFE) through the Board on Science Education (BOSE) and the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board (CSTB) of the National Research Council conducted a public workshop about the status of information technology (IT) fluency in high school. The workshop explored what is known, and what remains unknown, in the world of IT fluency in terms of exit skills for high school graduates.  This project builds up and examined the recommendations of an earlier CSTB report, Being Fluent with Information Technology. This project is sponsored by the National Science Foundation. The workshop was held at 3:00 pm on Sunday, October 23 with a keynote address and panel discussion; it continued with a full day of sessions on Monday, October 24.
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and High School Graduation Outcomes: A Workshop Summary is the report from that workshop. Both reports can be found on the website of the National Academies Press (www.nap.edu), in the education section.
