VI. Online Research, and Professional Development, and Personal Learning Networks (NETS-A 2009 - 2d, 3b, 3d)
Level One: I prefer not to use online resources to gather professional information or research nor do I use technology to communicate with my peers to share information.
Level Two: I can effectively search and extract information from online resources such as educational journal databases, ERIC, and other credible sources on the Internet. I subscribe to electronic journals and newsletters of professional relevance. I subscribe to electronic mailing lists (listservs) and RSS feeds of blogs and news sites to gather information and problem-solve with fellow professionals. I have participated in educational forums or training delivered online.
Level Three: I use technology to remain actively engaged by contributing to an on-going professional learning community of my peers.
VII. Teacher Technology Competencies (NETS-A 2009 - 3a, 4c)
Level One: I cannot specifically identify any specific skills teachers in my school or district should have in order to use technology effectively. My school or district has no written set of technology skill competencies for teachers.
Level Two: Our school or district has a set of technology skills that teachers are expected to master correlated to the NETS-T or other national standards. A formal staff development program that offers teachers a range of staff development opportunities in technology and a means for assessing the effectiveness of those opportunities is in place. The effective use of technology in supporting all teaching improvement efforts is recognized and addressed in staff development initiatives.
Level Three: All teachers are expected to use technology to increase their pedagogical effectiveness and integrate high-level technology uses into their classes when appropriate. I can identify effective technology uses in the classroom and know how they support other effective teaching practices such as Danielson’s Frameworks for Learning.
XIII. Student Technology Competencies (NETS-A, 2009 - 2a)
Level One: I cannot identify any specific skills students in my school or district should have in order to use technology effectively after graduation to be successful students, workers, or citizens.
Level Two: My district has a well-articulated and well-taught information literacy curriculum that integrates technology into a problem-solving research process. I help assure that my school has a librarian who provides instruction to both students and staff in these skills. Students have a wide variety of opportunities in all classes to practice the use of technology in meaningful ways. Benchmarks for student technology proficiency are written and understood by the staff and public. Our curriculum is based on national standards such as NETS or AASL’s Information Literacy Standards for Student Learning.
Level Three: I serve on curriculum committees comprised of both educators and community leaders that help identify the skills and competencies future graduates will need to successfully participate in society. I can clearly articulate how technology use impacts student achievement. I work to make sure technology access is adequate to meet all students’ learning needs.
IX. Envisioning, Planning, and Leading (NETS-A, 2009 - 1a, 1b. 1c)
Level One: I let others in my district or school create technology plans. We purchase equipment, software, and technical support on an as-needed basis.
Level Two: I use software to facilitate brainstorming activities, to plan and conduct meetings, and to create decision-making models. I take an active leadership role in building and district technology planning efforts helping make decisions about hardware selection and acquisition, staff development in technology, and integration of technology into the curriculum. Our school and district have a long-range plan and short-term goals for technology use that are regularly assessed and updated. I have a personal philosophy I can articulate regarding the use of technology in education.
Level Three: I have a leadership role in my professional organization that stresses the effective use of technology in education. I write and speak for my fellow practitioners on technology issues. I work to inspire others to use technology when it supports best practices in education.
X. Ethical Use, Student Safety and Policy Making (NETS-A, 2009 - 5a, 5b, 5c)
Level One: I do not feel I need to be concerned with any ethical, safety, or policy issues surrounding computer use.
Level Two: I understand copyright and fair use issues as they apply to information technology resources. I demonstrate ethical usage of all software and let my staff know my personal stand on legal and moral issues involving technology. I know and enforce the school’s technology policies and guidelines, including its Internet Acceptable Use Policy and policies relate to the use of social networking tools by the professional staff. I am aware of the issues as technology relates to student safety and security and the physical health and environmental risks associated with technology use. I have a personal philosophy I can articulate regarding the use of technology in education.
Level Three: I am aware of other value-laden aspects of technology use including data privacy, equitable access, and free speech issues. I can speak to a variety of technology issues at my professional association meetings, to parent groups, and to the general community. I encourage all staff members in all classes to address the issues of safe and responsible use of technology and the Internet.

Hi Doug,
I just wanted to let you know that you are a tag in my Evernote-- since I save so many of your blog posts and articles, I created a "doug johnson" tag so that I can more easily find your stuff in one place. Just thought you'd like to know! (this series of articles is going in Evernote)
