Digital Teaching & Learning

 
North Carolina has adopted the ISTE Standards for Digital Learning for all students and educators. These standards are a framework that guides educators and school leaders in using technology to create high-impact, sustainable, scalable, and equitable learning experiences. They focus on students by describing the skills and knowledge learners need to thrive, grow, and contribute in a global, interconnected, and ever-evolving society.
