Review ISTE Standards

In my generation, the landline was a commodity in daily life. Now it became a decoration in a house by being replaced with the smartphone. During the transition, can people transit their courtesy into the digital environment? Along with the release of the free app, can the digital native respect another's privacy and intellectual rights? How can the parents and educators keep cyberbullying at bay?

After review the ISTE standards, I find the ISTE Standards consist of five sets of standards and provide a clear direction for digital age learning, teaching, and leading. The educator from every corner around the world could apply the standards in a variety of ways. For example, the category of the student standards could be set as the objective in mini-lesson for fostering students to become the digital citizen with understanding their responsibilities. Securing the safe platform is the first priority standards for every user. We could bring up the profound questions to have students identify their roles in the virtual world.

Based on each sub-category, district, school, and teachers can develop the clear ideas of how to infuse technology into the lesson plans or create a technology project.

Besides, the professional standards for teachers, administrators, coaches and computer science educators can guide educators in their professional development and form a sharing environment which supports each other and empowers educators to implement their job more effectively and efficiently, such as curriculum design and assessment.

Since we all recognize it’s an ongoing professional learning era, with the explicit standards everyone could pace smoothly.
