This is the fourth in a series of five articles about the
NETS*T (National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers) from ISTE (International
Society of Technology in Education). We are accustomed to thinking about
standards for student achievement. But we can really raise the bar by
having a certain level of expectation for teachers in the use of technology. What
better way to encourage students to gain important life skills than to model
them ourselves?
The fourth of these standards is “Promote and Model Digital
Citizenship and Responsibility.”

Imagine a program, similar to those of the Renaissance, where young artists who wish to refine their craft can have an opportunity to study with a master artist. Individual, one on one training and experience with someone who is considered a luminary in their field. During the Renaissance rich art patrons like the D’Medici family sponsored such endeavors. Today, it is companies like Rolex taking up the challenge.

When the weather turns warm and the kids next door become tired of what they are doing they turn to neighbors and begin to ask questions. The first question is “what are you doing?” Those who are not teachers would miss this opportunity to ask an expert what kinds of questions would be interesting to look into in science class. |

The third of these standards is “Model Digital-Age Work and Learning.”
Model Digital-Age Work and Learning
Teachers exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of
an innovative professional in a global and digital society. Teachers:
- demonstrate
fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new
technologies and situations.
- collaborate
with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools
and resources to support student success and innovation.
- communicate
relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers
using a variety of digital-age media and formats.
- model
and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools to locate,
analyze, evaluate, and use information resources to support research and
learning.
