B. C. Digital Literacy

Standards for Students and Teachers

The International Society of Technology Educators (ISTE) has created multiple standards for living, learning, and teaching productively in a digital age. The Government of British Columbia has adopted and expanded upon the language used in ISTE's Standards for Students through the creation of a provincial framework for Digital Literacy. 

The B. C. Framework for Digital Literacy uses the same lanaguage from ISTE's Standards for Students, with specific exemplars for student learning linked to the cross-curricular competencies.

ISTE's Standards for Teachers lays out five key areas for teachers to keep in mind as they teach and learn with technology. Click here to be taken to the ISTE site or here to read short summaries of each of the standards for teachers.
