ISTE's National Educational Technology Standards define what students, teachers, and administrators should know and be able to do with technology. ISTE worked with a broad coalition of educators, curriculum associations, and other educational organizations to develop and come to consensus on these standards.
For more information about NETS and how to implement them in your classroom, see http://www.iste.org/standards/.
