National
Education Technology Standards Project
http://cnets.iste.org/index.shtml
ISTE has produced sets of technology standards for Teachers, Students
and Administrators. All children must be ready for a different world. Our educational system must produce technology capable
kids. 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.
New York State Learning Standards
http://www.nysatl.nysed.gov/standards.html
At the approach of the twenty-first
century, the Board of Regents approved a new set of learning standards for New York students. They represent the core of what all people
should know, understand and be able to do as a result of their schooling. As such, these learning standards are to form the
basis for a re-vision of education in New York.
With this re-vision, children
may expect an intellectually powerful education no matter where they live; in which teaching, assessment, and the provision
of supports for learning are to be closely linked; and in which schools and parents share the same high expectations of youngsters.
