International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE)
ISTE is proud to announce this new edition of the NETS•T, which includes the new standards for students with its emphasis on skills and expertise supported by technology. Profiles are now included for all teachers in addition to the four previous stages of teacher preparation. Examples and scenarios demonstrate ways in which the standards facilitate effective teaching and learning strategies for prospective and beginning teachers, teacher candidates, current teachers, and teacher educators.
| Digital-Age Teaching Rapid advances in technology are putting new demands on educators and students. ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) launched a refresh of the NETS•T in 2007 and unveiled the new NETS•T in 2008. The refreshed ISTE NETS provide a framework for educators to use as they transition schools from Industrial Age to Digital Age places of learning. The NETS for Teachers (NETS•T) were originally released in 2000, following the acclaimed NETS for Students (NETS•S) in 1998, which set the bar for integration of technology in education. The NETS•T 2000 defined the fundamental concepts, knowledge, skills, and attitudes for applying technology in educational settings. This video from you-tube gives a brief explanation of who ISTE is and why you should listen to them.

Two words for you. Road Trip!! We have to go to that conference because the "Rock Stars" of tech. ed. will be there. haha Kidding aside, it was very informative. When I was reading through the ISTE website and the standards, I noticed the revised addition (2000 to 2008). With the rate that technology moves these days, it makes me wonder how long will those standards last. Do you feel that after reading the standards that they could stand the test of time or do you feel that they will have to be alterted due to the pace of technology? Something to think about. Have a good Memorial Day weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteExtra credit for anyone attending the conference! =)
ReplyDeleteVery Cool Linnetta, your blogging skills are growing! The conference looks like an awesome professional development opportunity, more importantly it looks like its just fun to attend and experience what’s on the horizon for technology in education! I often think that we are on the wrong side of the teaching business, just think about the amount of money that is generated from technology in education, every year districts try to outdo each other with new technology. And then the following year they go out and do it all over again! I need to invent something!!!!
