ISTE releases new standards

June 24, 2007

Have you seen the newly released standards National Educational Technology Standards for Students: The Next Generation? Great format. One pager listing 6 key areas:
1. Creativity and Innovation
2. Communication and Collaboration
3. Research and Information Fluency
4. Critical Thinking, Problem-Solving & Decision-Making
5. Digital Citizenship
6. Technology Operations and Concepts

Thanks for the info that the link was corrupted. I have fixed it again. I totally agree with the comments below and from what people told me walking through ALA. We must have relevance laterally in our profession. The librarians, the information people, the technicians, the educators - however you define them - must see the overlaps and consistencies in our standards so we can value each other.

  1. Thanks, Diane. I wish you and others would join me in advocating that the NETS and AASL Student Standards be somehow combined or at least referenced!

  2. Diane, Your link to the new standards isn’t working, at least not on my computer.
    I went to http://cnets.iste.org/ and found them by clicking on NETS-S 2007
