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. (https://www.iste.org/standards)
Focus: ISTE Educator Standard 3. Citizen
Educators inspire students to positively contribute to and responsibly participate in the digital world.
For Educators: Standard 3. Citizen
Standard 3c Mentor students in safe, legal and ethical practices with digital tools and the protection of intellectual rights and property.
Despite what many people may think, images on Google (or anywhere else on the Internet for that matter) are not free to use. Believe it or not, there are professionals who make their living from those photographs. So every time you take one of the photos for
free, that is money the photographer is losing.That’s why a project called Creative
Commons is so valuable. It provides images for people to use with the original creator getting attribution and recognition. No money changes hands but Creative Commons gives the artist the right to say how their work can be used. Creative Commons isn’t
perfect but it is a good attempt to try and regulate the “Wild West” of the Internet. Where people take whatever they want to the detriment of the media owner.

The first kids who enrolled in San Antonio's Pre-K 4 SA program when it began in 2013 are now old enough to
take STAAR testing, and a study of the results of those tests by Pre-K veteran third graders shows substantial improvement over classmates who were not enrolled in the program, News Radio 1200 WOAI reports.

TORRALVA - San Antonio Express-News | Pub: 01/29

The study compared nearly 10,000 students — including 400 who attended the city-funded program in the 2013-2014
school year — who were in the same third grade classes and had similar demographics, said Mike Villarreal, director of the University of Texas at San Antonio’s Urban Education Institute, which conducted it.

Study Indicates Pre-K 4 SA Positively Affects STAAR Scores, Attendance |
by EMILY
DONALDSON - The Rivard Report | Pub: 01/29
|
The first group of students who attended Pre-K 4 SA in its first year has taken third-grade STAAR exams, and
results showed the students were more likely to perform better on state exams and attend class than those who did not attend public pre-K. A new study from the University of Texas at San Antonio’s Urban Education Institute also showed the former Pre-K 4 SA
students were less likely to be identified as needing special-education services. The study also suggests the first group of Pre-K 4 SA students “fared slightly better” than children who enrolled in public pre-K.
