Although the latest version
of the "National Educational
Technology Standards" (NETS)
identifies six areas of
focus for student learning
and growth, it assumes that
teachers understand the
implications of these
standards as well as methods
for integrating them into
the classroom. In order for
students—"digital
natives"—to lasso the
educational potential of
technology, it is essential
that their teachers are able
to help them move forward.
As we reexamine the role of
technology in Hanover, the
following will always be
central to our discussions
and implementations: 1) the
implications of the NETS for
students and teachers; 2)
methods of incorporating
historical, current, and
cutting edge technologies
into the classroom; and 3)
how to realign curricula and
practices in order to
integrate NETS (and the
associated technologies)
into the classroom. |
