About
The National Educational
Technology Standards (NETS) are
a set of standards published by
the International Society for
Technology in Education (ISTE) for
the purpose of leveraging the use
of technology in K-12 education to
enable students to learn
effectively and live productively in
an increasingly digital society.
History
The NETS project was
initiated by ISTEs Accreditation
and Professional Standards
Committee. It was funded by
NASA in consultation with the U.S.
Department of Education, the
Millken Exchange on Education
Technology and Apple Computer.
The first set of standards, NETS
for Students, was released in June
1998. In 2000, the ISTE revised its
previously published standards for
teachers, ISTE Technology
Standards for All Teachers, and
released it as NETS for Teachers.
This new version subdivided the
Application of Technology in
Instruction category into the areas
of planning, implementing, and
assessing and added a category
on the social, ethical, legal, and
human issues related to
technology use. In November
2001, NETS for Administrators was
released. These three sets of
standards were revised in later
years, 2007 NETS for Students,
2008 NETS for Teachers, and 2009
NETS for Administrators.
