ISTE Releases new NETS for Teachers

ISTE has released the new National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers and they are quite a bit different than the 2000 version. It is interesting that the 5 categories are: 1) Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity, 2) Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments, 3) Model Digital-Age Work and Learning, 4) Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility, & 5) Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership. If you look at these, you will notice some parallels with 21st century skills.
