I'm not actually familiar with them.  (I wasn't 100% sure what "NETS" was,
but Google helpd :^) )

For those curious, I discovered it to be this:

  "The National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) Project is an
  ongoing initiative of the International Society for Technology in
  Education (ISTE) and a consortium of distinguished partners and
  co-sponsors."

Unfortunately, not that I know of.  The closest thing I can think of
is Francesca Campora's "Guida Didattica TuxPaint 2.0"
("Tux Paint Didactical Guide", in Italian):

  http://maestradigitale.it/tuxpaintguide2.0/1.htm

(BTW, I'd love it if this were made available in other languages.
It's published under the GNU Free Documentation License. :^) )


However, I'd be happy to look into this and find a way, if possible,
for us to come up with lesson plans that can be 'blessed' as an NETS
standard.

I'm not positive when I'll have time to work on this, and encourage
others to look into it and discuss it on 'tuxpaint-users', where it
might be a little more applicable.  I've actually moved this thread
from 'tuxpaint-devel' to there.
