Implementing ISTE NETS Standards into Lesson Plans
Implementing ISTE NETS Standards into lesson plans does not require making as many foundational changes as implementing Blooms Digital Taxonomy. Teachers interested in implementing ISTE NETS standards might first consider how they can modify their existing lesson plans by incorporating elements of the NETS standards.
For example,take a lesson in that requires students to research life in colonial Williamsburg and design a poster on it to present to the class. This lesson plan involves research, collaboration, and creativity. However it lacks a digital component. By looking at ISTE NETS standards, you might modify the lesson like this:
"Using the resources on History.org, the website for Colonial Williamsburg, students should collaborate digitally to create a Prezi presentation on life in Colonial Williamsburg."
The revised lesson takes the research, collaboration, and creative components from the original lesson and moves them forward, into digital skills that are relevant to today's digitally native students.
