Why is 21st century learning important?
• As new careers increasingly require digital fluency,
students need to comfortably use technology to think
critically and collaborate with others to solve complex
problems.
• Companies are looking to hire employees who have a
combination of hard and soft skills They want hire
someone who is adaptable, self-directed, and also ICT
savvy.
• Companies are also looking to hire someone who has
people skills because most innovation involves
communicating and collaborating with large teams of
people from different cultures.
• In addition, 21st century learning will also give students
a basis for life-long learning and skills to participate in
other areas such as civic and global issues.
