ISTE NETS for Students NEW 2016
Skills and knowledge students need to learn effectively and live productively in a digital world. Within NETS for Students, there are six Performance Indicators. Each Performance Indicator indicates and outlines what the student should be able to achieve within technological literacy by the completion of a school year. The Performance Indicators are guidelines where the students are aware of the program's goals and what they are attempting to achieve to meet NETS standards. The Performance Indicators are as follows:
-
Creativity and Innovation: Using creative thinking and innovative technology the students demonstrate and develop models and simulations to explore and identify complex systems and forecast possibilities as well as they use existing knowledge to generate new ideas and creative thoughts.
