While reading through past and current technology standards I couldn't help but notice a similar thread woven throughout. Foremost, increasing productivity of students, teachers and administrators was continually brought up in the standards. Also, responsible use of technology regarding social and ethical practices was stressed.
One main difference to note was that the current standards used the words creativity and inspire, where as the older standards were focused on using the technology and understanding the basic operations. I think this is foreshadowing where we are going with technology. It is no longer acceptable just to be able to use software. The expectations will soon be to take the software and build new ideas that will be useful in the future. We cannot get complacent as technology is always evolving.
