National Educational Technology Standards (NETS)

The National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) are guidelines that outline the essential skills and knowledge students and educators should have to effectively use technology in learning and teaching. They promote responsible, creative, and collaborative use of digital tools to enhance education, prepare students for the digital world, and support lifelong learning. Essentially, NETS provide a framework to ensure technology is integrated meaningfully into education, fostering digital literacy, critical thinking, and innovative problem-solving skills necessary for today’s interconnected society.
