Amelia, great post. As you mentioned the ISTE standards are guidelines for teachers and students about the teaching and learning process with the use of technology. ISTE for teachers is to help them teach and interact via technology and to help students unleash their creative thinking. ISTE aims to have a technological driven society where technology is utilized effectively worldwide. With ISTE the view is that students will have more self-directed learning and a better learning experience. I totally agree with you, when the ISTE standard for students guidelines is met students will be more organize and more self-driven.
DeleteGreat post Amelia, i agree that "the standards are guidelines for teachers and students about teaching and learning process with the use of technology." The ISTE standard also provide the competencies for learning, teaching and leading in the digital age, providing a comprehensive roadmap for the effective use of technology in schools worldwide. It provide guidelines that help these individuals create and utilize the most effective technology learning environment possible. When students know how to effectively use technology, they can communicate effectively.

ReplyDeleteThe international society for technology in education (ISTE)is an organization on how to teach technology to students of any grade level. Stefanie McKoy states that “ISTE is a global community of educators dedicated to providing resources for teachers to implement high expectations for technology. ISTE provides technology standards for students, educators, educator leaders, coachers, and computational thinking. The purpose of ISTE is to provide standards for the basic competencies for teaching and learning in the digital age. These standards lay the building blocks for teachers for providing a comprehensive foundation for technology implementation in the classroom. Educators utilized these standards to ensure proper use of technology instruction throughout the school year”. (Mckoy, S. 2022). ISTE aims towards teaching and learning through technology and gives guidelines to teachers and students, it also provides guidelines on how to effectively use/ incorporate technology in schools. The importance of the ISTE standards is to give high expectations for each area to help students develop skills to become productive members of society in the 21st century (Mckoy, S.2022).
Briefly explain the ISTE standards for teachers and students.
As educators, students are at the center of everything we do. The student section of the ISTE Standards describes the skills and knowledge they need to thrive, grow and contribute in a global, interconnected and constantly changing society (ISTE, N.d). ISTE provides seven standards for students to achieve in order to becoming secure digital compliant. Educators have always held the key to student success. But their role is changing. The educator section of the ISTE Standards defines the digital age skills and pedagogical insights educators need to teach, work and learn (ISTE, N.d).
Concluding, ISTE is an organization that released standards for teacher and students which aims to implement technology in the classroom.

Trudy Ann, I felt it when you stated that as educators, students are at the center of everything we do and I am agreeing with you. When it comes on to our children, they can be affected by what we do. Also, you mention that there are seven standards for students to achieve in order to becoming secure digital compliant. I think that you could have given an example as to 1 of the seven standards that the students would achieve to become digital complaint. For example, empowering students will Providing the students with the tools to not just express their opinions and ideas but also to believe that their voice may bring about change.
DeleteGreat post Trudy-Ann! You have mentioned the function of the ISTE and how it operates globally and providing resources for both teachers and students, to use in this digital age. educators utilized these standards to ensure proper use of technology instruction throughout the school year. I appreciate this “educators have always held the key to student success” concluding it was informative.

I certainly agree with everything you said in your post, your post is very captivating.
DeleteWhat are the Education Technology Standards (ISTE NETS), and why are they important?
ReplyDeleteISTE stands for the International Society for Technology in Education. It is an organization that seeks to promote the integration of technology in teaching and learning. ISTE’s goal is to improve technology use in classroom by using best practices associated with learning and technology to create high-impact, sustainable, scalable and equitable learning experiences for all learners (ISTE N.D). ISTE create a set of technology learning and teaching standards for teachers, students, educational leaders’ administrators and coaches. The goal of these standards is to provide guidelines that help these individuals create and utilize the most effective technology learning environment possible. The ISTE standards have been used for over years with continual updates that reflect the latest research and technology. This helps to ensure the standards reflect the most current research, technology, knowledge and pedagogy to help the standards become and stay as relevant and effective as possible. This is vital as it aims to empower teachers and students to harnessed technology, in the most effective ways possible so that computers can do what they do best, and free up teachers and students do what they do best. These standards have been throughout the world (LcomTeam 2023).
Briefly explain the ISTE standards for teachers and students.
ISTE standards for teachers have always held the key to students’ success; but their role is changing. The ISTE standards for teachers define the new skills and pedagogical insights educators need to teach, work and learn in the digital age (ISTE Standards N.D). It’s vital that teachers give their students the opportunities to be effective when using digital tools and resources in both face to face and virtual classroom. The ISTE standards for students describe the skills and knowledge students need to thrive, grow and contribute to an increasingly digital society which include learning how to be responsible and safe understanding and employing computational thinking, effectively curating and evaluating knowledge attained digitally, and using digital tools to successfully communicate with others. Technology is undoubtedly a fixture in students’ lives. For them to use technology responsibly, safely and effectively, they need to understand the impact of technology on their lives and develop strategies for navigating the digital world (LcomTeam 2023).

Great Post Kerry-Ann. In your post you briefly introduced the organization (ISTE) and their main goal. The importance of best practices when using technology in the classroom were mentioned. You spoke on the opportunities that are provided for both teachers and students in the ISTE Standards. I like the idea of highlighting the 'digital age' as that is the era that we are truly in which is dynamic. Another outstanding point in your post is the mention of children/students being fixated on technology which is undoubtedly true. Lastly, you expressed your concerns on the way in which students should utlize technology as it impacts their lives not only today but in future endeavours.
DeleteNice post Kerry- Ann, I note that you gave a quick definition of the ISTE requirements for teachers, which are designed to equip educators to teach complex ideas and technology in the classroom. Also, it encourages teachers to share ideas for engaging their students with one another. Given how far technology has come, instructors are expected to be knowledgeable about current events. They must comprehend how technology affects their life in order to use it properly, safely, and successfully. This phrase is really true because students may suffer if they are unaware of the downsides and upsides of technology.
DeleteThe International Society for Technology in Education is known as ISTE. It is a nonprofit organization that aims to encourage the use of technology in education. In order to develop high-impact, sustainable, scalable, and equitable learning experiences for all learners, ISTE uses best practices related to learning and technology. ISTE's mission is to advance the use of technology in schools around the world. (Team el,2022) The educator section of the ISTE Standards provides a road map to helping students become empowered learners. These standards will deepen your practice, promote peer collaboration, challenge you to rethink traditional approaches, and prepare students to drive their learning. The ISTE Standards offer the skills for learning, teaching, and leading in the digital era, offering a detailed road map for the efficient use of technology in classrooms worldwide. The ISTE Standards ensure that employing technology for learning may provide high-impact, sustainable, scalable, and equitable learning experiences for all learners. They are founded on learning science research and built on practitioner experience. (ISTE,2023)
ReplyDeleteThe new generations of learners require more than just the textbook and chalkboard teaching method. They need more modern ways to keep them interested and active in teaching-learning. In using the ISTE, more hands-on activities are included, including technology (videos, games, movies, stories,)field trips, and independent learning (projects, presentations, productions). The Focus is more on student-centered learning where the students are used to drive the lessons, getting their attention and keeping them involved, using their personal experiences to help bring across the topics (where applicable). ISTE is best known for developing a set of technological learning and teaching standards for learners, facilitators, and leadership in the classroom. These standards are meant to guide those who wish to design and use the most productive technological learning environment imaginable.

Aaliyah this is a very informative post. You've highlighted the importance of the ISTE Standards in the classroom and beyond. You also made mention of the goal that drives the ISTE and the impacts this goal will have on teachers and students. The ISTE Standards for both teachers and students were explained and the approach taken by teachers in a technological-oriented classroom was outlined. (student-centered) You identified the different learners that will be empowered in a more modern and practical classroom. I like the fact that you've listed activities that may surface form the implementation of ICTs in a teaching and learning environment.
DeleteI appreciate this post for you have outlined what ISTE means and the importance of ISTE. You have pointed out the two main users of the ISTE Standard and the goal it aims to achieve. You have done amazing research; you have provided well needed details on this guideline and how it will impact teachers and students once the aims have been met in the classroom. I saw where stated that "The new generations of learners require more than just the textbook and chalkboard teaching method. They need more modern ways to keep them interested and active in teaching-learning". This is so true because of the day and age we are in now and how invested we are in technology as evolving individuals. I look forward to more of your posts on this topic.
DeleteAshantia, intriguing post. The ISTE Standards include capabilities for learning, teaching, and leadership in the digital era, as we all know we live in technological times where technology controls the world. Why not use it for the greater good? ISTE aims towards the use of technology in schools and throughout the world, it provides guidelines for teachers and students to follow. As you pointed out students can use technology for research and to gain relevant information on specific topics, this is known as self-directed learning where students are responsible for their own learning.
ReplyDelete“ We live in a digital age where it is necessary to both teach with technology and teach about technology.” (Mittha, 2021) The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Standards were developed to serve as a guide for educators who are propelled to revolutionize the pedagogical setting. Traditional teaching and learning strategies are lacking and ISTE Standards have transformed dull passive learning into engaging, creative and collaborative methods of delivering a lesson. The 21st century goals are promoted and achieved through digitizing instruction which maximizes learning by catering to all learning styles. These standards facilitate and ensure that the implementation of technology in the classroom is effective and digital citizenships are created and maintained. Teachers and students are empowered as the instructional setting has become automated and technology-driven which is innovative, accelerates good practices, and solves tough problems in education. E-learning has become a major part of the Standard Curriculum for a number of schools across a wide range of nations aligning with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development goal #4. The most important thing to remember about ISTE and other guidelines on education technology is that they are about using technology to teach and learn more effectively, not about teaching the layout of technology.
ReplyDeleteThe ISTE Standards for students aids students in discovering the perks of the digital world and develop skills in seven varying aspects that are needed to thrive in a dynamic digital environment; whether classroom, work or the wider world. ICT breaks barriers and learners are self-directed to resolve real-world problems. Researchers at AESEducation posits that ISTE-compliant teachers take an active, innovative role in the education process to help students learn more effectively. (Zook, 2021) Teachers have seven technical and structured roles set out in the ISTE standards as they “make and break” the classroom and the effectiveness of technological implementations will determine the effectiveness of the classroom manager.

Amoya, I admire that you had done your research I am agreeing with your post technology is evolving and yes it can either make or break the classroom our actions when it comes to our children, we can have an impact on them. As was mention ISTE Standards have replaced boring passive learning with interesting, creative, and collaborative ways to deliver lessons, filling the gaps left by traditional teaching and learning techniques. It is up to the teachers to help his /her students by using the seven steps for students to succeed and become secure digital individuals .
DeleteGreat post Amoya! it is very informative as you mention we live in a digital age where it is necessary to teach with technology and teach about technology. You have highlighted the standard of the ISTE. And how it has revolutionized the pedagogical setting.The traditional teaching and learning strategies are lacking. However, the ISTE has transformed dull passive learning into a more engaging and creative atmosphere. Concluding I like the fact that you were able to link the Nation Sustainable Development goal with it.
DeleteThe NETS Standards (also known as ISTE Standards) are benchmarks for measuring the information and abilities that students must acquire to keep up with a world that is becoming more and more technologically dependent. Standards for students, instructors, and administrators are the three different categories into which the standards are divided. The purpose of these standards, according to the article titled "ISTE standards," is to offer principles that assist these people in developing and utilizing the most productive technological learning environment possible. A thorough road map for the efficient use of technology in classrooms around the world is provided by the ISTE Standards, which offer the competences for learning, teaching, and leading in the digital era.
ReplyDeleteISTE standards for teachers are a manual for assisting students in becoming independent learners. It is understood that the educator section of the ISTE Standards provides a road map to helping students become empowered learners. These standards will deepen your practice, promote collaboration with peers, challenge you to rethink traditional approaches and prepare students to drive their own learning (ISTE, N.d). The focus of the standards for teachers is on using technology to assist student learning and creative thinking, design activities and assessments for the digital age, showcase digital work, encourage, and model digital citizenship, and participate in leadership and professional development. According to the ISTE guidelines, teachers should design and build digital age learning experiences and evaluations, as well as facilitate and encourage students' learning and creativity.
On the other hand, the ISTE standards for students outline the knowledge and skills students need to prosper, develop, and contribute to a society that is becoming more and more digital. These skills and knowledge include understanding and applying computational thinking, curating, and evaluating digitally acquired knowledge, and effectively communicating with others using digital tools. Indeed, technology is a constant in students' life.
The ISTE is a framework put in place to guide teachers who teach computer science to rethink education and create innovative learning environments.

DeleteWhat are Educational Technology Standards (ISTE NETS), and why are they important?
ReplyDeleteA thorough road map for the efficient use of technology in classrooms around the world is provided by the ISTE Standards, which offer the competences for learning, teaching, and leading in the digital era. The ISTE Standards ensure that employing technology for learning may provide high-impact, sustainable, scalable, and equitable learning experiences for all learners. They are founded in learning science research and built on practitioner experience. The ISTE standards are intended to empower students to get a deeper grasp of the educational process and to foster classroom cooperation. New and innovative pedagogical strategies are required to help students transition from the conventional method to more self-directed learning experiences. The goal of ISTE for instructors is to assist them teach and interact with students using technology, as well as to help students release their creative thinking. ISTE envisions a technologically driven society in which technology is used effectively around the world. According to ISTE, students will benefit from more self-directed learning and a better learning experience.
Briefly explain the ISTE standards for teachers and students.
We live in a digital world when it is vital to teach both using and about technology. Educational technologies (EdTech) can give numerous advantages to both teachers and students. They can promote creativity and make developing and delivering adaptive and differentiated training easier. Inside and outside the classroom, digitization and automation can reduce or eliminate repetitive tasks and reduce workloads. Online sites and forums also make it easy to collaborate with other teachers and share resources on a local or worldwide scale.
However, using technology in the classroom can be difficult and time-consuming for teachers who must learn new tools and figure out what works best for a specific class, subject, or age group.
