NETS Refresh News
A BIG THANK YOU to the thousands of educators from the US and around the globe who gave us feedback on the refresh of the NETS for Teachers! Engaged educators participated in the 20 in-person forums led by ISTE at conferences around the country, participated virtually in forums in Second Life and Adobe Connect, participated with colleagues in forums led by many of you, or in the different iterations of the online survey.
We want to hear from you!
"We're now at the halfway mark in our three-year project to update the standards," notes Lynn Nolan, ISTE's Senior Director for Educational Leadership and NETS Refresh Project Director. "We're happy to report that, altogether, more than 2500 of you from all over the world have contributed your expertise in face-to-face forums and online surveys. Thank you so much for your energy and ideas."
More than 2000 education professionals from all 50 states and 22 countries helped define the NETS for Students, which debuted at NECC 2007. As of November 2007, nearly 700 educators from 45 states and 15 countries have weighed in on the NETS for Teachers with opportunities to collect feedback at numerous NETS Refresh Forums through the end of March 2008.
The next generation of NETS•S, released in June 2007 to wide acclaim, was a tremendous step towards meeting the demands of Digital Age learners. Teachers want to know: What do the NETS for Students look like in the classroom?
We are pleased to provide the new NETS•S in Spanish!
