[LM_NET] Learning Standards

[dougj <dougj@DOUG-JOHNSON.COM>]

Hi folks,

The draft of AASL's new Learning Standards is available for comment and
review.

http://www.ala.org/ala/aasl/aaslproftools/learningstandards/standards.htm

Take a few minutes to read them and send in suggestions.

ISTE is also "refreshing" its NETS standards. See:

http://www.iste.org/Content/NavigationMenu/NETS/NETS_Refresh_Forum_Meetings/
NETS_Refresh_Forum_Meetings.htm

Here is something I think we ought to try: If you, like me, would like to
see the "refreshed" ISTE NETS Standards and the AASL Learning Standards
combined/cross referenced/coordinated please let these people know:

Don Knezk, CEO ISTE: <dknezek@iste.org>
Julie Walker, Ex Director AASL: <jwalker@ala.org>
Kurt Steinhaus, ISTE Board President <ksteinhaus@ped.state.nm.us>
Cyndi Phillip, AASL President <cphillip_56@yahoo.com>

Personally, I'm tired of two sets of largely overlapping learning standards.
Why not one?

If no one else comments about this, the leadership of both organizations can
rest easy knowing that, as always, I am pretty safe to ignore.

All the best,

Doug
