BVSD CED's
BVSD Curriculum Essentials Document incorporates the International Society for
Technology in Education’s (ISTE) National Educational Technology Standards for Students (NETS) and
the integrated essentials from the Colorado Academic Standards for 21st Century Learning Skills.
The NETS for Students from ISTE do not delineate how courses should be created or taught.
Each teacher must determine appropriate lesson planning. As technology rapidly evolves with new
dynamic tools, there is no set of prescribed software, tools, or technologies that students and
teachers may adopt to achieve these rigorous and robust standards. It is with experience, trust, and
teacher consensus in ISTE that the Technology Teachers and Educational Technology Department at
BVSD adopted these same NETS for our Boulder Valley students. The writing teams took the ISTE
NETS for Students and carefully and thoughtfully divided them into courses for the creation of the
2011 BVSD Educational Technology Curriculum Essentials Documents (CED).
