I like how teaching 21st century skills are an expectation to be taught as part of the curriculum. The excuse of "we don't have time to teach this" will be out the window when it is an expectation.

I like that this emphasizes three components of interaction. Online course could be thought of as a "student interaction with the content" type of learning environment but adding peer collaboration and teacher collaboration brings the human and social aspect into the course.

I think this is very important. I have been guilty of grabbing something from the internet then realizing this wasn't the best for my students. What kind of PD is available for this? What OER is available that is aligned with Iowa Standards?

This is an interesting indicator because teacher often resort to shutting technology down for students who use it inappropriately. More learning would be needed to help teacher use these as teaching moments.
