1. Theme #3: shift and standards
• As a teacher, you need to ensure that all of your
students meet all the necessary standards
• All students are expected (in Indiana) to meet certain standards of
technology skills (NETS-S) by the end of 8th grade
• Teachers are expected to meet certain standards, too! (more in Week 3
on that topic)
• Administrators are looking for teachers who are excellent at navigating
all of this SHIFT
• Also, you must find ways to document that your
students are meeting standards, sometimes in the
most efficient way
• Technological tools can help
• We will be looking at some of these this semester along the way

• STAND⋅ARD
• Something considered by an authority or by general consent
as a basis of comparison; an approved model
• A rule or principle that is used as a basis for judgment
• An average or normal requirement, quality, quantity, level,
grade, etc
• Academic standards also can affect our use of
technology and adapting to all of this SHIFT
• Indiana Academic Standards

efficiently or demonstrate better how our students meet
these standards
