Identification of Standards 2

The international Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) is the creator of the

framework that helps supports our 21st century learners. ISTE standards impact the way our

learners use and learn with technology. This learning is both in the classroom as well as in the

real world in which we live. ISTE standards promote technology expansion and positive methods

for an educator to use to inspire and advance students toward learning and developing in a digital

world. The ISTE standards consist of seven key standards for students:

EMPOWERED LEARNER: Empowered learners take an active part in their own

education.
DIGITAL CITIZEN: Good digital citizens understand the rights and responsibilities
that go along with using modern technology.
KNOWLEDGE CONSTRUCTOR: Knowledge constructors know how to comprehend
and contextualize online information.
INNOVATIVE DESIGNER: Innovative designers know the basics of problem-solving
and understand how to apply them in their lives.
COMPUTATIONAL THINKER: Computational thinkers can create and employ
strategies for solving problems while using technology.
CREATIVE COMMUNICATOR: Creative communicators express themselves clearly
and concisely through digital media.
Global Collaborator: Global collaborators are capable of working toward a common
goal with someone else, even when they may disagree on a subject.

ISTE standards support learning through a project based learning environment which is

critical for the 21st century learner. This type of learning fosters problem solving skills for all

learners and supports the diverse learner and their learning needs. The purpose of these

standards is to prepare students for every phase they may face in the digital world. When

applying this to the classroom ISTE is setting the stage for creating a digital learning

environment that models and supports the student with all aspects of technology and its constant

changing advancements.

That being said, the Nevada Academic Content Standards (NVACS) have used the ISTE

standards as a foundation for understanding and developing the current Computer Science K-12
Identification of Standards 3

Elementary Standards for the state of Nevada and the school district within our state. These

standards support our educational systems in adapting to learning in the 21st century. Nevada

students are not just computer users they are creators who will become proficient with the

practices of computer science. The NVACS standards consist of six key standards for students

K-12 my focus will be with the kindergarten standards since this is the grade level my lesson

plan will focus on:

ALGORITHMS AND PROGRAMMING: Model daily processes by creating and

following sets of step-by-step instructions (algorithms) to complete tasks.
COMPUTING SYSTEMS: Model daily processes by creating and following sets of
step-by-step instructions (algorithms) to complete tasks.
DATA AND ANALYSIS: Recognize that data can be collected and stored on different
computing devices over time.
IMPACTS OF COMPUTING: Understand how computing devices have changed
people’s lives. Exhibit good digital citizenship using technology safely, responsibly, and
ethically.
NETWORKS AND THE INTERNET: Explain that a password helps protect the
privacy of information.
COMPUTER SCIENCE PRACTICES: Fostering an Inclusive Computing Culture,
Collaborating Around Computing, Recognizing and Defining Computational Problems,
Developing and Using Abstractions, Creating Computational Artifacts, Testing and
Refining Computational Artifacts, and Communicating About Computing.

In reading through the Nevada Academic Content Standards for Computer Science and

Integrated Technology dated August 29, 2019. I notice that there was very little difference

between our state standards and those of International Society for Technology in Education

Standards. The biggest difference is the terminology to helps support our learners with student

friendly learning targets.

The following Nevada Academic Content Standards will be used in my kindergarten

lesson plan The Little House by Virginia Lee Burton:
