The Kentucky Department of Education Digital Learning Team designed the Kentucky Digital Learning Guidelines
as guidance for schools, districts, and digital providers when selecting or creating developmentally appropriate digital learning resources for instruction, as well as online and blended learning courses in Kentucky schools.
The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) developed the ISTE Standards (formerly known as the NETS) for learning, teaching and leading in the digital age. Included in the standards are ISTE Standards for Teachers (ISTE Standards•T) and ISTE Standards for Administrators (ISTE Standards•A). These standards provide details related to evaluating the skills and knowledge educators need to teach, work and learn in an increasingly connected global and digital society.
The Digital Textbook Playbook is a guide to help K-12 educators and administrators advance the conversation toward building a rich digital learning experience.
This guidance is targeted to policymakers and K-12 school leaders interested in addressing school technology readiness needs for college and career ready teaching, learning and assessment. PARCC and Smarter Balanced released guidance regarding minimum technology requirements in December of 2012. However, education leaders must consider these minimum requirements in the context of the full range of technology issues schools are addressing today. The minimums are not sufficient for teaching and learning.
