BIE National Educational Technology Standards
(taken from BIE Master Technology Plan, 2007-2010)
The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) has
developed a set of educational technology standards for students that

systems in the United States. If the state in which your school
resides does not have state technology standards, you may use the
