Technology in Education. In a unique partnership with teachers and teacher educators, curriculum and education associations, government, businesses, and private foundations, ISTE has responded to calls for educational technology standards, curriculum, and tools with its NETS Project. The primary goal of the NETS Project is to enable stakeholders in PK-12 education to develop national standards for educational uses of technology that facilitate school improvement. The NETS Project works to define standards for students, integrating curriculum, technology, and standards for student assessment and evaluation of technology use. Forty-nine of the 50 U.S. states have adopted, adapted, or referenced the NETS in state department of education documents.As technology, resources, practices, and assessments changed over time, it became necessary to review and refresh the standards. This full-color booklet includes the entire revised text of the National Educational Technology Standards for Students (NETS*S). Also included are a discussion of the need for technology standards, a project overview offering historical perspective on the NETS*S and a summary of the refresh process, student profiles and examples, and the results of a scenario survey.Topics include:-technology standards-technology literacy-technology integration-teacher training Also available: 101 Best Web Sites for Teacher Tools and Professional Development - ISBN 1564842274 Teachers as Technology Leaders: A Guide to ISTE Technology Facilitation and Technology Leadership Accreditation - ISBN 1564842266 NETS, NETS for Students, digital age standards, national educational technology standards for students, NETS-S The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) is the trusted source for professional development, knowledge generation, advocacy and leadership for innovation.
