the digital world mindfully and responsibly.
2.4 – COLLABORATOR – Intentionally collaborate
with colleagues and students for overall growth
and understanding using technology as a
connection point.
2.5 – DESIGNER – Design places where students
can personize their learning experiences for
active, deep learning.
2.6 – Facilitator – Support student academic
achievement by facilitating learning in a “safe”
space using technology and strategies.
2.7 – Analyst – To support student’s goals by
using and understanding data to drive
instruction.
ISTE Student Standards:
