As you can see, all technology and media find a valid place in support of teaching and
learning.
For educators charged with ensuring that our students are prepared for their place
in society, teacher and student literacy in this broad range of technological tools is
essential. To that end, every educator needs to master technology skills, not only to
accomplish his or her administrative and instructional tasks but, more importantly, to
prepare students for contemporary life.
But educational technology, like all other aspects of instruction, cannot be success-
fully employed outside of the instruction, goals, and objectives they support. Instead,
these powerful instructional resources can be effective only if recognized as a compo-
nent of, and integrated into, a framework of standards-based teaching and learning.
The implementation of educational technology itself is not the objective of instruction.
Instead, the reason for integrating technology is to be a support and a means for the
instruction that is necessary to meet identified standards for 21st century learning. In
today’s standards-based educational landscape, educational technology and technology
literacy have become foundational elements. Many professional educational organiza-
tions have promulgated standards, including AECT. It is useful to explore the variety
of technology standards that will comprise the framework that you will likely use to
define and inform your technology-rich instruction.

Just as they do in all areas of education, standards address teacher and student com-
petencies in educational technology. Standards provide a roadmap for instruction and
define the ultimate goal in terms of student performance. Technology standards provide
direction for and identify the acquisition of the targeted technology skills that students
will need for success for in our digital age. National and international professional
organizations have articulated standards that have identified the specific sets of tech-
nology skills and competencies necessary for both teachers and their students. The
standards, as defined by these organizations, provide the framework for technology
integration in states, districts, and schools.

ISTE’s Resources: EdTekHub and Project ReimaginED.
ISTE offers teachers not only the standards they must address, but also excellent resources
to assist them in doing so. EdTekHub and Project ReimaginED are two resources well worth
exploration.
EdTekHub is a gateway to many of ISTE’s educator resources, from the integration
of standards; to plans, ideas, and tools for technology integration; to flipped classroom
projects; to ISTE’s dynamic educational technology blog, ISTE Connects. Exploring these
resources and teacher exchanges can encourage educators at every grade level, and in
every content area, to innovate and effectively integrate educational technology.
One of EdTekHub’s links connects you to Project ReimaginED. This ISTE network gives
educators an opportunity to communicate and share their ideas on ISTE Standards and the
Common Core, all while exploring the application of new, as well as tried and true, technol-
ogy tools. This professional learning community (PLC) offers educators an opportunity to
make meaningful connections with other educators, and with the standards for technology.
Threads in this PLC include such critical conversations as those related to the digital divide,
using standards-aligned plans, webinars and open educational resources, as well as numer-
ous other topics of interest. This single resource offers technology-using educators a robust
view of what colleagues are doing, as well as their issues and concerns.
Explore the many paths available on the EdTeKHub gateway and sign up for Project
ReimaginED to stay current and involved in standards-based technology implementation.
As a result of the ever increasing pressures for technology literacy, and compliance
with the national technology standards associated with it, most states have developed
state technology standards and have included ISTE Standards, directly or indirectly,
within their certification and licensing requirements for teachers. Therefore, as a matter
of your own professional licensure, technology standards, and their resultant require-
ments, have become significant in every educator’s professional life.
ISTE Standards are foundational to the exploration of educational technology for
current and future educators and are, therefore, an essential focus of this text. As you
peruse each chapter, you will find references and links relating standards to the content
presented. You are encouraged to go to the ISTE website, and keep the relevance of the
ISTE Standards in mind, as you continue to learn about educational technology and its
role in teaching and learning. Use your favorite search engine to explore the resources

expected to have and to facilitate.
AECT Standards
AECT is focused on the design of instruction and providing a systematic approach to
learning, as well as how technology can be incorporated into these themes. As one of
the oldest and most widely recognized educational technology organizations, it has
compiled and presented five standards that guide the field in ensuring candidates in
the education profession possess the competencies necessary to create high-quality,
systematic instructional design that effectively includes technology. The five AECT
Standards focus on:
• Content knowledge
• Content pedagogy
• Learning environments
• Professional knowledge and skills
• Research
Adopted in 2012, the AECT Standards define the competencies expected of those who
would enter the profession, and articulates the indicators by which it can be determined
that such competencies are present. The AECT Standards have been incorporated into
teacher preparation programs, and inform those in the profession who are charged with
preparing future educators.
