NETS for Teachers

After all of this extensive research and overviews of standards in all content areas for various different subjects, I found it interesting to find standards for teachers.

Since technology is always changing, and even at a fast pace, I feel that having technology standards for teachers is extremely important. Of course, standards for teachers in every subject is important as well, but even more so for technology since it is changing so quickly.

I feel the most important (teacher) technology standard that every teacher should be keeping in mind when creating a lesson, are the social, ethical, legal, and human issues (standard 6). This is most definitely important in a TESL - Teaching English as a Second Language - class (and for any class for that matter). As educators, it is so important to "model and teach legal and ethical practice related to technology use" (standard 6.a).
