Standards of Excellence

ISTE's National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) are the most recognized set of technology education standards in use by teachers and educational leaders around the world today.

Support Learning in the Classroom

"It's no secret that technology directors around the country look to ISTE for guidance when it comes to setting technology standards.  Consequently, as districts develop standards, the NETS become the catalyst for conversations surrounding technology practices.  The ISTE Seal of Alignment is an indication that the product under consideration meets national standards and will therefore support the goals of NCLB.  The selection of products for use in schools must be research based, and the ISTE Seal indicates that the product is in alignment with national goals."
