National Educational Technology Standards The National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) are a set of standards published by the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) for the purpose of leveraging the use of technology in K-12 education to enable students to learn effectively and live productively in an increasingly digital society.[1] With technology teachers can teach outside of the classroom. It is very beneficial for students to learn quickly and easily. The use of technology motivates students to learn, and using the internet will eliminate the unwanted (extra) information provided in text books. Classrooms need to be updated. History[edit] The NETS project was initiated by ISTE’s Accreditation and Professional Standards Committee.[2] It was funded by NASA in consultation with the U.S. Categories[edit] NETS for Students[edit] Skills and knowledge students need to learn effectively and live productively in a digital world.

A New Way to Learn Traditional Computer Based Learning (CBL) methods typically rely on one-way transmission of information. These methods are seen as extensions of classroom learning and thus viewed by children as restrictive. Consequently, results from such CBL initiatives have, at best, been mixed. In Contrast, Hole-in-the-wall Learning Stations seek to create a new paradigm in the learning process by providing unrestricted computer access to groups of children in an open playground setting. We believe that such an open setting will use child’s natural curiosity to stimulate learning. The essential features are: - The learning station is set up in an outdoor playground setting which children can access at any time. The playground setting offers a host of other advantages. - The learning station fosters collaborative learning among groups of children instead of following the usual school model of rote based learning (unidirectional). - The Learning Stations are used for various real life projects.
50 Education Technology Tools Every Teacher Should Know About Technology and education are pretty intertwined these days and nearly every teacher has a few favorite tech tools that make doing his or her job and connecting with students a little bit easier and more fun for all involved. Yet as with anything related to technology, new tools are hitting the market constantly and older ones rising to prominence, broadening their scope, or just adding new features that make them better matches for education, which can make it hard to keep up with the newest and most useful tools even for the most tech-savvy teachers. Here, we’ve compiled a list of some of the tech tools, including some that are becoming increasingly popular and widely used, that should be part of any teacher’s tech tool arsenal this year, whether for their own personal use or as educational aids in the classroom. Social Learning These tools use the power of social media to help students learn and teachers connect. Learning Lesson Planning and Tools Useful Tools
