Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate student preparedness in core Educational Technology competency skills required to enter college. In addition, it investigated skills employers require and how these skills match those that youth and adults are developing through their earlier school and college experiences. Further, the study identified attitudes and perceptions of college students about their high school preparation and college usage. Students generally reported they were under-prepared for the rigors of college technology use and that they were mostly self-motivated and self-taught. Males and students with a science related major indicated a lack of respect for intellectual property, an ethical issue. Males reported higher confidence in their Educational Technology ability than females while in high school and in college. This study revealed the inadequate efforts that high schools have made to prepare students to use technology in college.
