Are you familiar with the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Standards for Students? Over the years the focus of these standards has shifted from the
\nbasic skills of learning how to use the computer to leveraging technology for
\ncreating authentic, purposeful learning for all students. Take a look at the seven ISTE Standards for Students (https:\/\/www.iste.org\/standards\/for-students). While you reflect back on current practices and the tech tools you utilize, you may discover you are
\nalready meeting some or all of these standards.<\/p>\n
Students leverage technology to take an active role in choosing, achieving and demonstrating competency in their learning goals, informed by the learning sciences. Tech Tools: Seesaw, Schoology, Canvas, Poll Everywhere<\/p>\n
Students recognize the rights, responsibilities and opportunities of living, learning and working in an interconnected digital world, and they act and model in ways that are safe, legal and ethical. Tech Tools: Pixabay, Hangouts, Common Sense Education<\/p>\n
Students critically curate a variety of resources using digital tools to
\nconstruct knowledge, produce creative artifacts and make meaningful learning experiences for themselves and others. Tech Tools: Flipgrid, Kahoot!,Wakelet<\/p>\n

\nsolve problems by creating new, useful or imaginative solutions.
\nTech Tools: iMovie, Morphi, Merge Cube<\/p>\n
Students develop and employ strategies for understanding and solving problems in ways that leverage the power of technological methods to develop and test solutions. Tech Tools: Code.org, Little Bits, Raspberry Pi<\/p>\n
Students communicate clearly and express themselves creatively for a variety of purposes using the platforms, tools, styles, formats and digital media appropriate to their goals. Tech Tools: Canva, Book Creator, ThingLink<\/p>\n
Students use digital tools to broaden their perspectives and enrich their
\nlearning by collaborating with others and working effectively in teams locally and globally.<\/p>\n
Tech Tools: Google Docs, Pen Pal Schools, Google Meet<\/p>\n
By integrating the ISTE Standards for Students, you provide a pathway for student voice, choice, and empowerment so students can achieve their educational goals. Heather Callihan
