How relevant are the NETS for Teachers and Administrators to being a "Good Educator"? The standards in the NETS are very important to being a good teacher regardless of the technology aspect and integration. If you take out the technology jargon, the 5 general themes highlighted in the NETS includes:
1-Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity
2-Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
3-Model Digital-Age Work and Learning
4-Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility
5-Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership
You can see that if you take out the digital references, these are the things "Good Teachers" were doing long before computers became part of the classroom landscape. So I don't think that it is necessary for "Good Teacher" to feel obligated to use technology tools in the classroom, but "Good Teachers" will always seek out the best tools that are available to help enhance the learning of their students-whether that be a piece of chalk or a digital flip camera.
