Why are the NETS important?

The NETS set a standard of excellence and best practices in learning, teaching, and leading with technology in education.

The NETS help us build a framework for conversations around digital age teaching and learning.

But Really It’s Because...

NETS for StudentsStudents demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology.

Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others.

Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information.

Students use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct research, manage projects, solve problems, and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and resources.

Students understand human, cultural, and societal issues related to technology and practice legal and ethical behavior

Students demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems, and operations.

For students, this sums up to the following:

NETS for TeachersTeachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments.
