The EDTEC program is focused of NETS-based programs, resources, and research at Ball State University. Originating in the PT3 project (1999-2003), EDTEC faculty have lead the integration of NETS standards in courses for teacher education majors.

NETS for Students. The
technology foundation standards for students are divided
into six broad categories. Standards within each
category are to be introduced, reinforced, and mastered
by students. These categories provide a framework for
linking performance indicators within the Profiles for
Technology Literate Students to the standards. Teachers
can use these standards and profiles as guidelines for
planning technology-based activities in which students
achieve success in learning, communication, and life
skills.
NETS for Teachers. These are the
standards for all K-12 teachers and, via the NETS
Performance Profiles, they represent the target
competencies for teacher education programs.
NETS for Administrators. The
National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) for
Administrators developed through the Technology
Standards for School Administrators (TSSA) Collaborative
identifies knowledge and skills constituting the "core"
of what every P-12 administrator needs to know about and
be able to do with technology regardless of specific job
role. ISTE has embraced the TSSA standards as the
national standards and extended the "core" skills and
knowledge to include the specific provisions for
administrators in three job roles:
NETS for Technology
Facilitators. These are program standards
for programs seeking recognition for Technology
Facilitation (TF) endorsement programs meeting ISTE
standards prepare candidates to serve as
building/campus-level technology facilitators.
Candidates completing this program will exhibit
knowledge, skills, and dispositions equipping them to
teach technology applications; demonstrate effective use
of technology to support student learning of content;
and provide professional development, mentoring, and
basic technical assistance for other teachers who
require support in their efforts to apply technology to
support student learning.
NETS for Technology Leaders.
Technology Leadership (TL) advanced programs meeting
ISTE standards prepare candidates to serve as technology
directors, coordinators, or specialists. Special
preparation in computing systems, facilities planning
and management, instructional program development, staff
development, and other advanced applications of
technology to support student learning and assessment
will prepare candidates to serve in technology-related
leadership positions at district, regional, and/or state
levels. (Revised -- Fall 2001)
