• Capable information technology users
• Information seekers, analyzers, and evaluators
• Problem solvers and decision makers
• Creative and effective users of productivity tools
• Communicators, collaborators, publishers, and producers
• Informed, responsible, and contributing citizens
NETS Project Standards Development Phases
• Technology Foundation Standards
• Standards for Using Technology in Learning and Teaching

NETS For Students: Connecting Curriculum & Technology
The document includes:
1. Content-Focused Learning Activities2. Multidisciplinary Units3. Workshop Staging Guide4. All Subject Area Standards5. Resources
Phase III. Support Standards
Describing those elements that support the effective use of technology in schools and universities
Phase IV. Standards for Evaluation and Assessment
• performance assessments and the processes for applying them
• evaluation systems for assessing the effectiveness of technology use in classrooms, schools, and universities
As the standards and performance indicators are developed:
U.S. Department of Education funding initiative
ISTE with a consortia of partners will
• revise the ISTE Foundations for All Teachers
• develop performance indicators
• identify essential conditions
• outline assessment systems
• disseminate models of implementation
NETS for Teachers
NETS Writing Team MeetingEducators from all over the United States came to Tempe, Arizona,
to develop NETS for Teachers and essential conditions to support the use of technology in schools and universities.
