As the leader of this proposal it is important to consider technology standards that students will meet through this project. According to the ISTE’s National Technology Standards, students are expected to “demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems, and operations” (ISTE Students). The implementation of the iPads support students in their understanding of this, and also helps students meet the standards of applying “digital tools to gather, evaluate and use information” (ISTE Students). On a more immediate level, students are also expected to develop their competency with technology by the standards set forth from the district. These specific technology benchmarks ensure that students are making the necessary progress toward technological proficiency.
