The document compares and contrasts learning standards around critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making. It outlines standards from a memo focusing on selecting appropriate technology and using resources responsibly. NETS standards are more specific, requiring students to define problems, plan solutions, analyze data, and consider diverse perspectives to explore alternatives. Suggestions are made for standards involving using digital tools for real-world tasks, employing simulations to practice critical thinking, configuring technology systems, analyzing technology capabilities, and designing accessible websites.
