Putting Students First in a Tech Classroom


 The idea behind this is because educators can get so caught up in apps, tools and new technology trends that they forget what really matters the students, who should be the heart of everything they do.

Why Student-Cantered Technology Matters?

The ISTE standards for students aren’t about making students tech savvy but for developing learners to solve real world problems, think critically and how to thrive in a connected world. There are seven student standards:

  • Creative communicators – students who express themselves creatively

  • Global collaborators – those who connect beyond the physical classroom

  • Computational thinkers and innovative designers – they tackle challenges with a sense of confidence 

  • Digital citizens – one who acts responsibly and ethically when interacting online

  • Empowered learners – those who take the initiative and don’t wait for learning to happen, they make it happen

  • Knowledge constructor – students who evaluate and do their research to solve problems

These standards go beyond just merely using technology but seeks to point out how students should engage with knowledge and interact with others in the world.

The Coach’s Role?

Coaches are reminded to use these standards as a means to encourage and support students to meet their learning goals.
