Performance Indicators
A major component of the NETS Project is the development of a general set of profiles describing technology-literate students at key
developmental points in their pre-college education. These profiles reflect the underlying assumption that all students should have the opportunity
to develop technology skills that support learning, personal productivity, decision making, and daily life. These profiles and associated standards
provide a framework for preparing students to be lifelong learners who make informed decisions about the role of technology in their lives.
Numbers in parentheses following each performance indicator refer to the standards category to which the performance is linked. The categories
are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Basic operations and concepts
Social, ethical, and human issues
Technology productivity tools
Technology communications tools
Technology research tools
Technology problem-solving and decision-making tool
