Section LXXV-103 - Philosophy

A. The Louisiana PreK-12 Educational Technology Standards are based on the National Educational Technology Standards for Students (NETS-S) and the Louisiana State Content Standards. These technology standards support the beliefs set forth by the state educational technology goal:

"All Louisiana educators and learners will benefit from technology-rich environments that support student achievement and produce lifelong learners able to succeed in an information society."

B. The Louisiana PreK-12 Educational Technology Standards are intended to be infused into the foundation skills and core understandings embodied in the Louisiana Content Standards. These standards and performance indicators are anticipated to assist teachers in preparing all students to be lifelong learners and contributing members of a global society. Infusion of these standards will be varied and dynamic, reflecting the diversity of instructional and student needs in our schools and districts.

C. All students must have regular opportunities to use technology to develop skills that encourage personal productivity, creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration in the classroom and in daily life. The technology standards promote the development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) literate students who learn, plan, produce, and innovate in a digital world. These standards foster ethical usage and digital citizenship for a competitive global society.
