Over the last eight years, New York State has established comprehensive
learning standards. Many of these standards include requirements for
technology use. In the late 1990s, the International Society for
technology in Education (ISTE) began developing suggested outcomes for
technology use in Pre-Kindergarten through 12 grades. The National
Educational Technology Standards (NETS) was the result of this project
by ISTE.
In an effort to promote quality use of technologies in providing
instruction in the classroom and to meet New York State's commitment to
ensuring that all new York State students, regardless of race,
ethnicity, gender, family income, geographic location, or disability,
are computer literate by the end of eighth grade, the following
information is being provided as resource to schools in their program
development and instructional integration. Below are the crosswalks of
performance indicators taken from the performance indicators by the six
categories developed by ISTE and the seven New York Learning Standards
documents.
Attention to including activities to meet these performance indicators
should lead towards meeting the State's goal of technology literacy
achievement.
