Research supports this hypothesis and a recent
ISTE study suggests that 77 % of teachers say technology use in the classroom motivates students to learn and 76 % of teachers say technology allows them to respond to a variety of learning styles, this is encouraging, but what about learning gains leading to student progress?
The ISTE study also revealed that teacher educators did not model the use of educational technology skills in their teaching.

Not only is the game great fun and easy to integrate into the curriculum, it also reinforces standards set by the National Council on Economic Education (NCEE), the National Council for Social
Studies (NCSS), the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), and the International Society for Technology Education (
ISTE).
The
study by
ISTE also showed that 76 % of teachers said that technology allows them to respond to a variety of learning styles.
The data from a mixed - method
study was analyzed in order to determine the relationship between the preservice teachers, the
ISTE Standards - T, and the role technology plays in the curriculum of the teacher preparation program.
To better understand how the findings of this
study fit within the larger purposes for social
studies, I considered how the Civic Mission of Schools (CIRCLE, 2003) and the Framework for 21st Century Learning (Partnership for 21st Century Skills, 2007b) and the
ISTE NETS - S (
ISTE, 2007) related to my findings.
According to Moursund and Bielefeldt (1999), the principal investigators of a
study conducted by the International Society for Technology in Education (
ISTE), «71 % of teacher education programs in the
study required students to take at least three credit hours related to generic instruction technology skills» (p. 32).
Since this research
study was completed,
ISTE has published revised technology standards and performance indicators for teachers (
ISTE, 2008).
Specifically, this research
study examined technology integration through the lens of the NETS - T (
ISTE, 2000) and the NETS - S (
ISTE, 2007),
To facilitate this consideration of how findings from this
study meet the goals of civic education as elucidated by the Civic Mission of Schools, the Framework for 21st Century Learning, and
ISTE NETS - S (2007), I organized the work of these organizations around five aspects of digital citizenship.
Further, the
study revealed that the NETS - T — the proficiencies and practices suggested by
ISTE for teachers who work in an increasingly digital world — were not a focus of instruction.
Midsemester, participants in the
study were asked via their course instructor to complete an electronic confidential survey based on the NETS - T (
ISTE, 2008).
