Reaction to Student NETS

My main concern regarding the NETS is that the educational system is placing too much emphasis on technology that is constantly changing. There needs to be more of an emphasis on using technology to improve non-technological skills like memorization, pronunciation etc. I don't think we as educators should spend too much time administering technologies that will be outdated by the time they graduate. Of course, there should be a solid core of technological elements that students should be able to grasp - like composition software, spreadsheets and presentations - but in regards to fad technologies, I think that the school boards should spend extra time to decide how valuable or "appropriate" the technologies really are.
