Technology Standards
For educators - As a school-based OT, I collaborate with educators to ensure all students can be successful on their learning journey. The ISTE standards were developed to help educators evolve with technology. By using these standards, I will be able to support educators in utilizing technology within the classroom through collaboration and training. http://www.iste.org/standards/for-educators For students - As a school-based OT, I support students to be able to access their curriculum and participate in educational tasks and activities. The ISTE standards were developed to empower students within the ever-changing world of technology. By using these standards, I support my students in the use of technology within the classroom and enable them to be self-driven and successful. http://www.iste.org/standards/for-students |
