=1. What are the [|NETS] standards?? for students and teachers (handout)= =2. Watch Video= =3. Looking at scenarios= This document is intended to paint “verbal pictures” or scenarios of transformed classrooms supported through technology. Our goal in creating these scenarios is to provide educators with examples of //“new and multiple ways of deep learning”// throughout the K-12 continuum, while emphasizing how information and communication technologies, based on the refreshed //NETS-S//, could facilitate these learning environments.

It is not the intention of this document to provide units or lessons for teachers to use, since these scenarios lack the level of specificity required for immediate implementation. We would suggest, however, that there are many ideas contained in them that may be ripe for “plucking.” Through the presentation of these scenarios, we offer a picture of sound pedagogical practices supported with effective technology integration. It is our hope that these “pictures” will assist interested educators in furthering discussion to transform their own lessons and units, by incorporating technology to better meet the needs of 21st Century learners.

When viewing "Looking at scenarios" each of the five standards is divided into four sections designated by grade cluster (K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12). For example: in //NETS-S// 1 there are three scenarios in grade cluster K-2, three in 3-5, three in 6-8 and three more in 9-12. The same pattern exists for the other standard areas. There are a total of sixty scenarios.

====BetterLesson was founded by a group of teachers from Atlanta and Boston public schools to connect educators and help them create, organize, and share their curricula.They are focused on aggregating and scaling the most innovative content and practices from high-performing teachers across the country.====
