Reflecting on the Technology Standards for Teachers

NETS:
The NETS are what ALL teachers need to be able to do in order to fully meet the needs of the students in regards to technology use in the classroom. In order for the students to meet the TEKS, teachers must be able to meet the NETS.

TEKS:
The TEKS are the objectives and goals for students in regards to use of technology applications for their appropriate grade level. The students need to be able to demonstrate their knowledge and abilities accross an array of technology fields within the given time frame.


MTT:
While the NETS include all classroom teachers, the MTT standards require that the teacher be a leader with technology use in the school. He/she becomes the expert in effectively modeling technology use into the classroom through daily instruction, assessment, and differentiation and mentoring other teachers to be more efficient with their technology use.
