Views on NETS for Students

Again, I must admit that I feel an extra pressure to perform magic tricks and super-duper technologically advanced lessons when my students can hardly write a handful of words correctly.
Having gone over the NETS for Students, I agree that it helps atleast in the following ways:
1) It allows students to present and develop innovative products and processes.
2) It also facilitates access to more resources in order to creat original works.
3) The ability to interact and collaborate with peers is definitely a plus, such as editing of written works.
4) The various methods of transmitting a message to students provides more possibilities fo students to access information.
5) The intennet does provide engagement with learners of other cultures.

It is important that we emphathize the use of technology to support collaboration, learning and productivity and that students don't regard technology simply as another form of game and entertainment.
