My second standards response will be in the area of #5: Digital Citizenship, part b: Model and practice a positive attitude toward using digital technology that supports collaboration, learning, and productivity.
The three words that stand out to me in this standard are collaboration, learning, and productivity. If my students can be successful in these three areas, whether they are using technology or not, I will be satisfied. All three of these words reflect life-long skills that are needed in many occupations. There are plenty of school opportunities for students to learn and be productive. But for them to be able to learn and be productive, while collaborating with others and using technology, that is a very good standard. I know that some schools are limited in their access to technology, but in my school, there is adequate access to enable my students to have many opportunities to use technology tools to meet this standard.
What? You want them to learn and be productive when they collaborate?! =-) In all seriousness, I agree--hopefully you can set some good standards in learning and being productive while collaborating and using technology. It will definitely benefit your students!
