Technology Standards, Who Knew?

I hate to admit this but until last week I didn't know there were common core standards for technology. It totally makes sense though, with the end of the CMTs and the new SBAC testing being done all on computers. To be successful students will have to be much more computer literate than just playing Call of Duty. The technology standards are called the National Educational Technology Standards or NETS. The NETS for students comprise everything today's students need to know to be successful in in the global computer based society that now exists. If you would like to know more specifics about these standards visit the NETS website at http://www.iste.org/standards/nets-for-students. There are also NETS for teachers. These are the standards that educators will use to evaluate their students' performance working with technology.
