2007 National
Educational Technology Standards for Students
The
technology foundation standards for students are divided
into six broad categories. Standards within each category
are to be introduced, reinforced, and mastered by students.
These categories provide a framework for linking performance
indicators within the Profiles for Technology Literate Students
to the standards. Teachers can use these standards and profiles
as guidelines for planning technology-based activities in
which students achieve success in learning, communication,
and life skills.
These
six basic strands comprise the new national technology
standards for
students:
1. Creativity and Innovation
2. Communication and Collaboration
3. Research and Information Fluency
4. Critical Thinking, Problem-Solving & Decision-Making
5. Digital Citizenship
6. Technology Operations and Concepts
