ISTE Standards

What are the ISTE Standards?

"The ISTE Standards are a framework for innovation in education. These standards help educators and education leaders worldwide prepare learners to thrive in work and life"

The International Society for Technology in Education

Why do we use the ISTE Standards for Students?

Adapted from the article, "Five reasons why the 2016 ISTE Standards for Students matter"

1. Because empowered students are prepared for the future.

2. Because human life is no longer solely digital or physical — it’s a hybrid.

3. Because it’s about the teaching, not the tools.

4. Because being a global citizen is no longer optional.

5. Because students care about their lives and learning, and the role of technology within both.
