Executive Summary
Good news: ISTE is releasing its revised standards on student technology proficiencies.
Bad news: This session was 45 minutes of nonstop self-congratulating on behalf of the many contributors to the new standards. A small price to pay for a great benchmark.
Background:
· Input from all 50 states and 22 countries
· Emphasis on technology literacy as a basis for learning
· Preparation for 8th-grade assessment, rather than an immediate cram for skills
· Using technology to learn rather than learning technology
· Alignment with standards introduced through the Partnership for 21st-Century Skills
