The document discusses the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) which were developed by the International Society of Technology Education. There are two sets of standards - NETS for Teachers (NETS-T) and NETS for Students (NETS-S). NETS-S include 6 criteria related to creativity, communication, research, problem solving, digital citizenship, and technology operations. Any technology use in lessons should meet at least one NETS-S criteria and be aligned with content standards and grade level. Teachers must also become proficient in educational technology to help students attain the NETS standards.
