Notes on ISTE article (Teacher Standards). (I had wanted to do this by using Diigo to highlight and capture highlighted blocks of text, but every time I try to do so, Microsoft encounters an error and briefly closes, then reopens without the highlighting!) The parts after the dashes are my comments.

1a. Creative thinking -- Yes, great!
b. Real-world projects -- Again, great!
c. Use collaborative tools to clarify student thinking -- What's wrong with "turn and talk"?
d. Use virtual environments with students and colleagues -- Why should that be a goal in and of itself?

2a. Use digital tools and resources with students -- Again, why is this a goal in and of itself? When it's useful, great. Sometimes old-fashioned methods are sufficient or even preferable, though.
b.Students pursue their own interests and manage their own learing -- A very nice goal that I like. How do you mesh that with state frameworks?
c. Address different learning styles -- Good potential here.
d. Formative and summative assessments -- Yes, unless a different method is more efficient and just as useful!

3a-c. Teachers model using technology for doing work, collaborating, and communicating with students/parents/administrators/each other. -- OK.
d. Model and teach how to evaluate information -- Definitely important.

4. Teach digital citizenship (copyright laws, etc.) -- Vey important. Kids must be taught very explicitly -- Young kids think that printing out material from a site counts as "research".

Make sure all students have fair access to digital tools -- Very important; count on public libraries to help.

Model global awareness by reaching out to other cultures -- But let's make sure that we also leave time for our local, in-person communities!

5. Teachers continue to learn about new digital tools and resources, and actively seek to learn about this stuff and promote its use -- OK, but remember that our primary job is to teach content and traditional skills such as reading / writing / math. I still think that it's possible to do that very well WITHOUT constantly seeking out the newest, "bestest" tech-savvy way of doing so! Time is a limited resource, and sometimes saving time by continuing to do some things using more traditional tools makes sense. We should be going for incremental change where it actually adds important new value, not incorporating technology just for the sake of doing so.
