Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

In fact, the ITI Task Force was given an opportunity in January 2016 to review and provide in-depth feedback on the development of these standards during a virtual session led by Carolyn Sykora, ISTE Standards Director.
The ISTE Standards provide a framework for learning in-depth, digital age skills and attributes with learning that is amplified through technology. Each standard emphasizes pedagogy enhanced with technology to support all learners in engaging and thriving in a connected, digital world. The reward, however, will be educators who skillfully mentor and inspire students to amplify learning with technology and challenge them to be agents of their own learning.
