NETS-S standards

None of the six National Educational Technology Standards for Students (NETS-S) are well implemented if that means consistent and engaging use of technology at Level of Teaching Innovation (LoTI) 4 or higher. I have witnessed some of the elements of each standard in my substitute teaching assignments and have read of model experiments in different school districts across the country. However, I believe strongly that the current public education system may be incapable of merging computer and information literacy into integration literacy. The nature of 21^st Century education is innovation whereas the nature of traditional education is entrenchment and a progressive ossification that prevents innovation.
