Educational Technology - Standards

Standards-based education is the process of basic teaching, learning and assessment that focuses on national, state, and local educational standards. Academic Content Standards are statements of what students are expected to know and be able to do at specified grade levels.

The Oregon Department of Education developed new Educational Technology Standards that are aligned to the National Educational Technology Standards for Students (NETS*S). The new standards were adopted at the December 2008 State Board Meeting.
