National Education Technology Standards
As we shift from a technology curriculum that emphasizes skills that are now learned and practiced at an earlier age and grade level, we will be moving toward a philosophy that supports the National Education Technology Standards (NETS) for Students that encourages schools to work toward integrating technology throughout the curriculum, while achieving student proficiency in the following areas:
- Creativity and Innovation
- Communication and Collaboration
- Research and Information Fluency
- Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making,
- Digital Citizenship
- Technology Operations and Concepts
