摘要

As technology and its use continuously evolve, standards to inform practice become increasingly helpful. The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) has developed technology standards aimed at teachers, learners, and administrators, with the latest versions in 2016, 2017, and 2018 (International Society for Technology in Education, 2016, 2017, 2018). TESOL International Association developed the TESOL Technology Standards Framework, with versions for learners and for teachers, in 2008. This document is now freely available for non-commercial use, with attribution (CC BY SA NC). TESOL expanded the document into a book in 2011 with performance indicators, vignettes, and can-do statements for each standard. The 2011 standards themselves have been validated by recent research (though some of the performance indicators and vignettes have become dated. More recently, separate targeted technology standards were developed for Canadian adult language learners, teachers, and programs. (All three of the standards documents include the standards, performance indicators, reflection questions, and self-assessment checklists. The instructor and program standards also include vignettes. The standards are freely available for non-commercial use, with attribution (CC BY SA NC). Teachers and administrators looking for guidance about incorporating technology appropriately and effectively would be well served by exploring the TESOL International Association and Canadian standards.
