=Technology Competencies and Standards=

// The national standards for the use of technology by students and teachers have been designed by the National Educational Technology Standards ( NETS ) Project, which are supported by the International Society for Technology Education (ISTE). Most states are developing student and teacher standards based on these standards, lists of standards by other organizations, and their own experience with the technology skills needed by each group. Standards are also available for other groups of educators besides teachers such as school administrators and librarians/media specialists.
