**INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY** **Grades 1 - 12**   These Priority Academic Student Skills have been created using the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) National Education Technology Standards (NETS). This has been done in order to provide access to the resources of the ISTE organization and its efforts to correlate the National Education Technology Standards to the national curriculum standards in mathematics, science, language arts, etc.  These standards should not to be viewed as “stand alone” standards for technology, but as technology that facilitates teaching and learning across the entire curriculum. These priority skills were purposely designed to be broad in defining the basic skills for instructional technology statewide.  **Introductory Level prior to completion of Grade 5**  **Standard 1: The student will demonstrate knowledge of basic operations and concepts.**   1. Use keyboards and other common input and output devices (including adaptive devices when necessary) efficiently and effectively.   2. Discuss common uses of technology in daily life and the advantages and disadvantages those uses provide.  **Standard 2: The student will demonstrate knowledge of social, ethical, and human issues, discuss basic issues related to responsible use of technology and information and describe personal consequences of inappropriate use.** <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">**Standard 3: The student will demonstrate knowledge of technology productivity tool.** <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"> 1.
