One of the most important aspects of the ISTE NET standards is also one of the most overlooked. Though teachers are expected to create a certain environment for the students, they are also required to model that behavior. Educators, in many situations, are a student’s first exposure to digital technology. They have a responsibility to present knowledge and showcase ethical behavior. The new generation is faced with almost unlimited access to information and media; now they can learn about intellectual property and piracy as they learn how to cite their sources. Teachers also model lifelong learning by keeping current with new technologies and show students that education is a process.

The ISTE Standards are interconnected.  Students are using the technology to support their learning.  The teachers are supporting students learning by providing experiences for students to utilize technology.  The administrators are providing leadership in technology to  support teachers and to provide them this useful tools to help engage students in technology use.

The standards are indeed interconnected. It takes the Administration at the top to initiate, model, and promote each standard. Administration supports the teacher's implementation of the standards into their work and classrooms. In turn, the teachers facilitate and support the students as they meet the standards.

It begins at the top and works its way down.  The administrators share their vision to inspire and lead teachers, create a culture that is innovative and technology driven, provide ample opportunity for professional development, consistently make improvements for the use of resources, and remain knowledgeable and proactive in digital citizenship.  Once each of the following is successful, the teachers are prepared and able to replicate the same mindset and actions as demonstrated by the administration.  This positive approach trickles down to the students whose education benefits from an inspiring administration and skilled teachers.

The standards for students, teachers, and administrators are interconnected in that they all focus on and support the culture of learning.  Technology is a support for learning and the standards emphasize the importance of that.

The ISTE standards are very beneficial to students, teachers, and administrators because it creates a common language to help everyone understand the goal and the expected outcome.  I visualized the administrator to be like the athletic director of an athletic event.  The administrator is the head of the program, and they are responsible for providing the teachers with the resources they need.  The teachers are then like a coach they are the ones working with the students and determining what technological resources work the best for their classroom.  Finally the students represent the players on the team.   The students need the material presented to them in a way that they understand the content and what’s expected of them.   The administrators, teachers, and students need to be operating on the same page and at the same pace in order to be successful, and that’s where the ISTE standards become valuable.

The ISTE standards state that administrators should be "Visionary Leaders". Their leadership should pave the way for teachers to be introduced to new ways to use technology in the classroom and also making sure that the teachers are given the proper and effective training to implement this technology. if this is done students will then have the opportunity to effectively integrate technology into their classroom experience.

The ISTE standards are a great way to have a common technological educational language among administrators, teachers and students from different classrooms to all around the world. ISTE standards have taken the same main ideas and localized them to the Administrators, Teachers, or Students. The student standards have been revised to be student-centered because they are the reason we are teaching and using the technology in the first place.

After learning more about the ISTE standards from the videos and articles, I visualize a pyramid. At the top of the pyramid I visualized the administrators. They are responsible for the leadership and technology integration. In the middle of the pyramid is the teacher. The teacher is to put the ISTE standards into practice through a variety of different technology lessons or projects. Finally at the bottom of the pyramid is the student. At the student level, the ISTE standards are simplified and therefore very easy for the student to understand the goal and the outcome expectations of the teacher. All three levels of the pyramid have similar language, but as you work up the pyramid it gets more complex.

After reading the articles about ISTE standards for teachers, students, and administrators, I thought the whole system as a train. The locomotive of the train is administrators, then the following up is teachers, then students. Administrator should be creative and know well about the policies for safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information for the teachers who will be using the created, or redesigned, or provided by the administrators. The interconnections between the ISTE standards for administrators, teachers, and students are most importantly Digital Citizenship for the right usage of the technology, and professional development for better leadership skills, excellence professional practices, and better education.

The ISTE standards are interesting and actually very useful to me as a teacher. The administrators share the bulk of the responsibility as they are responsible for the leadership of technology in the school or district, or at the very least, providing people who can execute the leadership. The teacher ISTE standards are worded very similar to the administrators, but puts it in the context of the classroom. The student ISTE standards I felt were actually simplified and worded so you could show a student what they were working toward. All three have very similar language but as you work down the tiers they are more simplified.
