2. How would implementation of these standards impact your school improvement plan?
The SIP requires teachers to incorporate technology in daily planing. The SIP would embed etiquette and social responsibilities for social awareness. This would lead to a greater awareness for teachers and students for the need for digital experiences.

3. What positive outcomes do you predict for teachers?
The teachers must be engaged in digital age learning to ensure the students are global learners. All teachers would be expected to participate in professional development to foster their development of technology use in the 21st century classroom.

4. What challenges might teachers face?
Lack of professional development funds for teacher training. Identification of useful workshops that are hands-on training. Teachers would also need administrators who model the digital technology and provide leadership in that realm of education that would be most beneficial to the student learner.

5. How can innovations based on use of the NETS and the 21st century framework be sustained over time?
Need for sustained, free professional development for teachers and administrators. Availability of funding through grants, federal money, etc. for the purchase of necessary technological equipment and hands-on training.
