technology standards are the
roadmap to teaching effectively and growing
professionally in an increasingly digital world.
 Technology literacy is a crucial component of
modern society. In fact, the globalizing economy
and technological advances continue to place a
premium on a highly skilled labor force.
As technology dramatically changes our society,
educators need to demonstrate the skills and
behaviors of digital-age professionals.
Competence with technology is the foundation.
 Societies

 Expectations are changing
 Teaching is changing
 Educators must lead
 Today’s
educators must provide a learning
environment that takes students beyond the
walls of their classrooms and into a world of
endless opportunities.
 Technology
standards promote this classroom
transformation by ensuring that digital-age
students are empowered to learn, live, and work
successfully today and tomorrow.
The new standards identify several higher-order
thinking skills and digital citizenship as critical

live productively in our emerging global society.
These areas include the ability to:
 Demonstrate creativity and innovation
