NETS-S

ISTE

National Educational Technology Standards for Students

Standards for 21st Century Learners

Part 2:

NETS-1 (Empowered Student)

NETS-S 2 (Digital Citizen)

Needs Evaluation

• Student Access to Technology
• 1:1 School
• Observation of Student Behavior
• Inappropriate websites
• Sexting
• Lack of Technology Awareness (Tools and How to Use)
• Programs in Place
• Living the 7 School-wide initiative
• Only Keyboarding (6th grade)
• IBCA for 10% of School Population

Why these standards?

NETS-1 (Empowered Student)

• Introduce students to a variety of technology tools that allow them to choose the tools that best fits their needs in the classroom.

NETS-S 2 (Digital Citizen)

• Student need to understand the permanence of their actions on the internet.
• Learn to be safe and responsible online.

The 7 Habits

• These 7 Habits were already familiar to students and adapted well to online principals
• 7 Habits
• Be proactive
• Begin with the end in mind
• Put first things first
• Seek first to understand then to be understood
• Think Win/Win
• Synergize
• Sharpen the Saw

Living the 7 Online

NETS-S 2 (Digital Citizen)

Analysis

• Participants: Central Middle School Students
• Know or Be Able to Do: By the end of this program, students will be familiar with the NETS-S and able to clearly assess their growth toward or mastering of these 2 standards. Students will also recognize the importance of being a responsible digital citizen who uses technology safely and responsibly at school and at home.

Analysis

• How to deploy: Deployed through advisory courses administered by each teacher on campus.
• Goal: Students at Central Middle School will demonstrate acquisition of 21st century skills as they grow toward mastery of the NETS-S 2016 standards while also utilizing technology in a safe and responsible way as emerging digital citizens

Analysis

Objectives:

1. The learner will enroll in the Living the 7 Online course in Schoology and complete the pre-assessment survey by the end of September.
2. The learner will complete one 10-20 minute lesson each week (9 modules total) over the course of the 2017-18 school year.
3. The learner will actively participate in each weekly lesson by responding to asynchronous quiz and discussion questions, participating in face to face classroom discussions facilitated by a teacher, and creating and submitting end of lesson/module projects that demonstrate acquisition of skills and mastery of standards�

Design

• Learning Modules
• Our program utilized modules for each of the 7 habits
• Each module had an overview of the habit in general and applications to online living.

Example: Be Proactive - Cyber Safety�

Design

• How will Participants go through the training?
• Individual - (This is the majority of the training) each student will complete the online lessons embedded in Schoology along with independent open ended questions, quizzes, and activities.
• Whole Group - Students within each advisory class will participate in teacher led discussion of the topics and issues covered in the lessons each week.�

Design

• Time Frame:

​

Design

• User Interface: Schoology will be utilized as the Learning Management System (LMS).
• Rationale:
• CMS already pays for the licenses to use Schoology
• All teachers on campus are required to use Schoology for their classes
• All students already have accounts and utilize Schoology daily for coursework.
• Schoology’s framework is ideal for creating and managing the number of teacher courses needed to deploy the trainings.
• Schoology has built in group discussion and messaging features for communication
