NETS Standards By: Elizabeth Thornton MEDT 6467 Spring 2010
What are the NETS? • NETS Stands for National Technology Educational Standards • These Standards have been created by the International Society of Technology in Education. • There are Standards specifically for Students, Teachers, and Administrators • Today you will only be looking at the NETS for students
Let’s Take a Look • These are the NETS Key Standards for Students • Creativity and Innovation • Communication and Collaboration • Research and Information Fluency • Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making • Digital Citizenship • Technology Operations and Concepts
How Can I Implement the NETS with the GPS? • Honestly, you probably do use the NETS Standards as well as the GPS • Here are a few examples: Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information. Students: a. plan strategies to guide inquiry. b. locate, organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, and ethically use information from a variety of sources and media. c. evaluate and select information sources and digital tools based on the appropriateness to specific tasks. d. process data and report results. Students use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct research, manage projects, solve problems, and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and resources. Students: a. identify and define authentic problems and significant questions for investigation. b. plan and manage activities to develop a solution or complete a project. c. collect and analyze data to identify solutions and/or make informed decisions. d. use multiple processes and diverse perspectives to explore alternative solutions.
Sample Lesson • Standards Used: Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology. Students: a. apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes. ELA1R6 The student uses a variety of strategies to understand and gain meaning from grade-level text. The student c. Asks and answers questions about essential narrative elements (e.g., beginning-middle-end, setting, characters, problems, events, resolution) of a read-aloud or independently read text Lesson Plan: The teacher will read A Bad Case of the Stripes. Throughout the story, the teacher will ask questions: Who are the characters? What is the setting(s)? What is the problem, events, and resolution to the story? The teacher will also discuss with the students how the story does and does not relate to the real world. The student will identify ways, compare, and contrast the story and reality. At the end of the lesson, the students will come up with ways the girl could have gotten rid of the stripes, and research as a doctor would to find out what could have possibly been the problem.
Why should I use the NETS Standards? • The 21st Century Learner must be exposed to these standards on a daily basis • Technology is growing, and changing fast • Our students need all of these skills to use in their future to become leaders in today’s society
Our Future Leaders • Must use skills, resources and tools • Ask questions, think critically, and gain knowledge • Draw conclusions, make decisions, apply knowledge to novel situations • Grow personally and aesthetically • We can provide all of this by implementing the NETS Standards as much as possible
