National Educational Technology Standards for Students
(ISTE)
 The
technology foundation standard for students are divided into six
broad categories. These categories provide a framework for the
performance indicators found in the profiles for students at various
grade levels. Teachers can use these standards and profiles for
planning technology-based activities in which students achieve
success in learning, communication, and life skills.
Technology Standards for Grades K-2
Technology Standards for Grades 3-5
Technology Standards for Grades 6-8
Technology Standards for Grades 9-12
Technology Foundation Standards for All Students
1. Basic Operations and Concepts
- Students demonstrate a sound understanding of the nature and
operations of technology systems.
- Students are proficient in the use of technology
2. Social, Ethical, and Human Issues
- Students understand the ethical, cultural, and societal issues
related to technology.
- Students practice responsible use of technology systems, information,
and software.
- Students develop positive attitudes toward technology uses
that support lifelong learning, collaboration, personal pursuits,
and productivity.
3. Technology Productivity Tools
- Students use technology tools to enhance learning, increase
productivity, and promote creativity.
- Students use productivity tools to collaborate in constructing
technology-enhanced models, preparing publications, and producing
other creative works.
4. Technology Communications Tools
- Students use telecommunications to collaborate, publish, interact
with peers, experts, and other audiences.
- Students use a variety of media and formats to communicate
information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences.
5. Technology Research Tools
- Students use technology to locate, evaluate, and collect information
from a variety of sources.
- Students evaluate and select new information resources and
technological innovations based on the appropriateness to specific
tasks.
- Students use technology tools to process data and report results.
6. Technology Problem-Solving and Decision-Making Tools
- Students use technology resources for solving problems and
making informed decisions.
- Students employ technology in the development of strategies
for solving problems in the real world.
