As an ET community we strive to ensure digital learning is recognized as an essential component of teaching and learning. Our work empowers educators and administrators to promote student agency and ensure that technology can be used to engage, enhance, and extend learning. We see technology as one of the vital tools to provide students with opportunities to communicate, create, collaborate, and think critically.
The Educational Technologists collaborates with cross functional teams to implement and support the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Standards for Students, which DoDEA adopted in 2017.
