Digital literacy skills

What does mean for education?

Skills

“Students will, of course, continue to learn the timeless core subjects like

math and science that are critical to their success. But we will also add

new topics including global awareness and life skills to the curriculum.

And we will use teaching methods that foster creativity and innovation,

critical thinking and problem solving, communication and

collaboration, media literacy, leadership and productivity, cultural

awareness, adaptability and accountability*.”

*Italics are my emphasis
