Supporting Digital Age Learners

The NETS for Teachers (NETS•T) were originally released in 2000, following the acclaimed NETS for Students (NETS•S) in 1998, which set the bar or integration of technology in education. The NETS•T 2000 defined the fundamental concepts, knowledge, skills, and attitudes for applying technology in educational settings.

Rapid advances in technology are putting new demands on educators and students. ISTE launched a refresh of the NETS•T in 2007 and expects to unveil the new NETS•T in June 2008. The refreshed ISTE NETS will provide a framework for educators to use as they transition schools from Industrial Age to Digital Age places of learning.

ISTE will release the new teacher standards at NECC 2008 in San Antonio. Thousands of educators participated in providing feedback (Read more about the Refresh of the NETS for Teachers).
