National Educational Technology Standards for Students
Responding to requests from educators, NetSmartz has correlated1 its resources with the National Education Technology Standards (NETS). We hope to provide teachers
- A clear vision of how NetSmartz resources support NETS
- An easy way to identify the activities that meet your technology curriculum needs
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.
