This project titled, “The Modernization of Digital Information Technology” includes a significant collaboration of program support staff, academic faculty, and consultants from the University of South Florida, Hillsborough and Pinellas County public schools, and industry subject matter experts. The focus of this collaborative project is to provide freely available and accessible resources to teachers and students throughout the State of Florida public school system that are required to execute the Florida Department of Education student performance standards curriculum for Digital Information Technology (DIT) (8207310). Additionally, the content included in this project is useful for any 8th – 12th grade course which requires foundational knowledge in digital information technology topics. These resources include products such as a DIT textbook, Canvas course, comic book, and a variety of multi-media instructional content. Teaching resources such as lesson plans and student activities are included. Content included in the student resources will be made freely available for download in both English and in some cases Spanish. Additionally, digital resources have been carefully designed to assist students with some disabilities.
