Week 6 ISTE Standards (Project #3)

Why the standards?

This technology course is designed around the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) for both teachers and students recommended by the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE). The standards "focus on preservice teacher education, define the fundamental concepts, knowledge, skills, and attitudes for applying technology in educational settings. All candidates seeking certification and/or endorsements in teacher preparation should meet these educational technology standards." This technology course strives to provide opportunities for you, the teacher candidate to meet these standards.
