ISTE (International Society for Technology and Education) has created a set of standards for teaching technology to K-12 students. Below is an excerpt from the iste.org web site. To see the NETS for Students click on the link in the text.

Digital-Age Learning
As foundational technology skills penetrate throughout our society, students will be expected to apply the basics in authentic, integrated ways to solve problems, complete projects, and creatively extend their abilities. ISTE's [|NETS for Students (2007)] help students prepare to work, live, and contribute to the social and civic fabric of their communities. The new standards identify several higher-order thinking skills and digital citizenship as critical for students to learn effectively for a lifetime and live productively in our emerging global society. These areas include the ability to:
 * Demonstrate creativity and innovation
 * Communicate and collaborate
 * Conduct research and use information
 * Think critically, solve problems, and make decisions
 * Use technology effectively and productively
