National Technology Standards: Activities

1 - Do a search in Google on technology standards for teachers and your state.  Does your state have technology standards? What are teachers expected to know?

2 - Evaluate your tech skills using these self-evaluations for teachers (below - choose 2). As you work through them, compare how the skills required have changed over the years.

• 20 Technology Skills Every Educator Should Have (2005)
• Technology Self-Assessment For Teachers (TSAT) (2010)
• Technology Skills Every Teacher Needs (2013)
• Teacher Baseline Technology Skills Checklist (2015)

Here standards for educator technology skills are given as broader categories. What do they add? What are they missing?

Do you prefer a detailed checklist of specific skills, or a broader, more concept-based list of standards?
