 National
Education Technology Standards (NETS)
The National Education Technology
Standards (NETS) Projects include standards related to the use of
technology in the classroom. Activities and expectations included
in ZOOM, e.g. responsible use of technological devices (DigiScopes),
use of technology tools to promote creativity, use of a variety of
media and formats to communicate information and ideas effectively
to multiple audiences, and others are applicable and potentially
useful to ZOOM participants. Two sites are included for your
perusal. The first is the NETS site that provides an overall view
of NETS. Second is a specific reference to the NETS for Students,
Curricula and Content Area Standards, Technology Foundation
Standards for All Students. |
NETS and the Technology Foundation Standards both seek to prepare technologically capable students.
ZOOM shares their goals:
To live, learn, and work successfully in an increasingly complex and
information-rich society, students must be able to use technology
effectively. Within an effective educational setting, technology can
enable students to become:
 |
Capable information technology users
|
|
|
Information seekers, analyzers, and evaluators
|
|
|
Problem solvers and decision makers
|
|
|
Creative and effective users of productivity tools
|
|
|
Communicators, collaborators, publishers, and producers
|
|
|
Informed, responsible, and contributing citizens
|
Project ZOOM is designed to move MAIS students toward those worthy goals.
