LopArt DUO AND National Educational Technology Standards for Students
ISTE standards for students, teachers, and administrators help to measure proficiency and set aspirational goals for the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to succeed in today’s Digital Age.
Students will be expected to apply the basics in authentic, integrated ways to solve problems, complete projects, and creatively extend their abilities. ISTE's National Educational Technology Standards for Students (2007) help students prepare to work, live, and contribute to the social and civic fabric of their communities.
In terms of drawing software, LopArt DUO is the perfect alliance between simplicity of use and rich graphic execution.
The colors pallet is associated with a variety of duo-tones. Combined with the transparency tool and different stoke tips, these colors reproduce techniques and effects associated with traditional drawing and painting tools. You also have access to a range of textures, as well as the ability to create your own in the Personal Texture Creation Workshop.
LopArt DUO enables you to discover information and communication technologies by enabling you to harness your creativity.

LopArt DUO Features |
| Creativity and Innovation Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology. | LopArt DUO allows two students to draw on the same drawing, from two different computers, via the internet and therefore create original work as a mean of personal or group expression. The drawing tools are very simple to use, and students can apply existing traditional drawing knowledge to generate new ideas on the computer. The ‘redraw’ feature will help students to use model and simulations to explore complex issues. |
| Communication and Collaboration Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others. | LopArt DUO is linked to a website which is an Online Museum. Students can create their own personal or group gallery and publish with peers, experts and others, employing a digital environment and different media. They can communicate information and ideas to multiple audiences as they leave comments on peers drawing, communicating via drawing, paintings and animations. The Duo functions will develop cultural understanding and global awareness as the students are engaged with other students from around the world, via collaborative artwork. |
| Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making Students use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct research, manage projects, solve problems, and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and resources. | The chat feature of the Duo functions of LopArt makes it easy to plan and manage activity between two students that are drawing together to develop a solution or complete a project. |
| Digital Citizenship Students understand human, cultural, and societal issues related to technology and practice legal and ethical behavior. | LopArt Duo’s online Museum is based on a community ideal.

They will also develop a positive attitude towards using technology that supports collaboration, learning and productivity, as students can collaborate, give their input and be involved in every projects and galleries in the museum. |
| Technology Operations and Concepts Students demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems, and operations. | LopArt DUO will help students understand and use technology as the software will demonstrate how to navigate within the program, go on the internet, navigate on different websites.
