Transforming education requires us to rethink how we teach and learn. The ISTE Standards act as a roadmap for bold, innovative educators and education leaders to re-engineer their schools and classrooms for digital age learning no matter where they fall on the journey to meaningful, effective ed tech integration.

Focus: ISTE Educator Standard 5. Designer
Educators design authentic, learner-driven activities and environments that recognize and accommodate learner variability. 

For Educators: Designer 5b 
Design authentic learning activities that align with content area standards and use digital tools and resources to maximize active, deep learning.
