 STANDARDS (TESOL technology 
standard) 
The rationale for the Standards is to 
level the playing field and guide 
teachers toward more effective 
practice. The Technology Standards 
will also give prominence to 
technological issues, help educators 
realize the potential benefits of 
technology, and prompt educators to 
learn to use technology in their 
teaching.
