NETS for Teachers:

        The standard for teachers that I think is the most important standard for a teacher to know is the third one, Teaching, Learning, and the Curriculum.  The reason that I feel that this standard is the most important is because this standard points out how the teacher needs to implement curriculum plans, so that the learner is most benefited by technology to maximize their learning.
        For me, this standard makes the most sense.  The learner benefits greatly by having the teacher implement methods and strategies that use technology in them to get through the curriculum. This standard also makes the most sense to me because the teacher would use technology to inspire the learners higher level thinking and their creativity.  The students today are becoming familiarized with technology and a steadily decreasing age. By basing lessons and managing lessons with technology most of the student will respond well. They are around technology all the time at home, so why not have them use their skills that they  know in the classroom.
        Some examples that a teacher could do to show that they have competency in this standard is to bring technology right into the classroom.  The first example is to use a digital calender that the students can access so that they can find out when certain things are due, and to see what the events of the day are.  The second thing that a teacher can do to show that they have competency in this standard is to have the children use computers to get on a website that is a great source of information for a specific topic.  For example, the teacher could have the students use the National Geographic website for more resources on Lewis and Clark.

NETS for Students:

        The standard for students that find the most important is the fifth standard.  This standard sticks out at me because it is what the student will use technology for the most.  Students do need the know the other standards, but in my opinion this standard is the most important. When i was in school the only thing that we used computers for was for research and to locate information.  This is going to be the main thing that students use technology for in the classroom.  
        This standard mainly focuses on information gathering.  By having the students practice their information gathering/researching skills at an elementary age, we are preparing them  greatly for their future in high school and even college.  By having them do this at such a young age we are building on their skills to determine the quality and the validity of the websites.
    Some examples that a teacher can do to help the student developer competency in this standard is to give them a famous person in history and have them get websites on their person.  Then as a group go over everyones websites and let the children decide which website is the most appropriate and valid.  By doing this the students will develop the sense of choosing correct websites.  
        Another thing that a teacher can do to develop competency in the students is to have them surf the web to find information about a certain sport.  Have the children use valid websites to find rules, regulations, and equipment that is needed for the sport.  The will developer skill of research in the children.  

Similarities and Difference between Teacher and Student Standards:

        The student and teacher standards are similar in many ways.  The standards as a whole cover the same points but the teachers are expressed as the teacher should do this to develop the students learning, and the students are expressed as what they should know and be able to do with technology.
    The standards are different in the sense that they are not exactly identical and the teachers standards are in a format more similar to a curriculum.
