ISTE Standards
Technological advancements  have brought many changes to society, including the way educators teach. The ISTE standards, are published by the International Society for Technology in Education, an association that is dedicated to use technology to assist in educational means. It is a list of standards to help implement digital media in the classroom. In order for it to be successful both students and teachers must follow the standards.
 The lSTE standards for teachers provides ways to reach students in todays day and age. First of all, it encourage teachers to be a learner and better their teaching skills by linking with other educators to gain new methods. Being a leader in the classroom, through ensuring that the classroom vision is accomplished, is also a required standard. In addition, by modeling the right way to use digital media and technology, teachers fulfill the requirement of being a citizen. Teachers must also regularly collaborate with colleagues, students, and parents. Being a designer, which involves adapting various programs to accommodate all types of learners, is another necessary standard. Furthermore, the ISTE standards requires them to be active facilitators in supporting student goals. Lastly, they must be analysists, using data to analyze the best way for each students success.
Students as well need to be on board to maximize their learning experience. To begin with, the empowered Learning Standard involves students indicating their capability in learning goals through doing certain tasks independently. Students must also be reliable digital citizens and ensure that they are using the media effectively and responsibly. Being a knowledge constructor, which includes distinguishing between true and false information, is also a necessary tool. In addition, being an innovative designer and computational thinker, which involves using digital media to dissect and solve problems, is another ISTE standard. Furthermore, they must have the skill to express themselves effectively through digital means. Lastly, being a global collaborator and achieving things through teamwork is beneficial to learn well.
 To conclude, when both students and teachers follow these standards, there is no limit to what can be achieved. While it may seem easier for educators to stick with their traditional method and not learn new innovations, it definitely is beneficial to use the valuable resources technology has to offer to improve the learning experience.
