Student NETS and digital tools

The students I am currently working with are immigrant and refugee parents from all over the world who have children in the Oakland Public School systems.

Although there are no student profiles of the NETS for adult students- I was interested to see the profiles for the different grade levels because the parents I work with need to know what their children are learning and expected to learn in school.

However, as I began to look through the student NETS and profiles of them I kept reading about using digital tools which are never defined. The adult students I work with do not have access to computers and I would like to know what other kinds of digital tools are available.

If these standards are to be taken seriously by the K12 schools and adult education which teachers the parents- there must be funding available to provide the "digital tools" needed to fullfil the standards.
