The document outlines technology standards for both teachers and students as defined by ISTE. For teachers, the standards define the skills needed to teach and learn in the digital age, such as facilitating student learning through digital tools, designing technology-enhanced learning environments, and modeling digital citizenship. For students, the standards are designed to empower student voice and ensure learning remains student-driven through exploration and discovery using technology, for example by students taking an active role in their learning, acting safely and ethically as digital citizens, and collaborating globally.
