This document discusses ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) in education. It provides definitions of ICT as technologies that provide access to information through telecommunications, similar to IT but focused on communication. Education is defined as teaching specific skills and imparting knowledge, judgement, and wisdom from generation to generation. The document then discusses some 21st century skills that are important for students to learn, including critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. It provides a few sentences explaining the importance and purpose of each skill.

2.  ICT stands for "Information and Communication
Technologies." ICT refers to technologies that
provide access to information through
telecommunications. It is similar to Information
Technology (IT), but focuses primarily on
communication technologies. This includes the
Internet, wireless networks, cell phones, and
other communication mediums

3.  Education encompasses teaching and learning
specific skills, and also something less tangible
but more profound: the imparting of knowledge,
positive judgment and well-developed wisdom.
Education has as one of its fundamental aspects
the imparting of culture from generation to
generation (see socialization). Education means
'to draw out', facilitating realization of self-
potential and latent talents of an individual.

4. These skills are intended to help
students keep up with the lightning-pace
of today’s modern markets. Each skill is
unique in how it helps students, but they
all have one quality in common.
They’re essential in the age of the
Internet.
On this page, we’ll take a look at
what’s included in 21st Century skills,
how they help students, and why
they’re so important.

5. Critical thinking is the practice of solving problems, among
other qualities.
In addition to working through problems, solving puzzles, and
similar activities, critical thinking also includes an element of
skepticism.
This is important in the 21st Century because it’s harder than
ever to verify accurate information (mostly thanks to the
Internet).
Critical thinking empowers students to discover the truth in
assertions, especially when it comes to separating fact from
opinion.
With critical thinking, students don’t just learn a set of facts or
figures. Instead, they learn how to discover the facts and
figures for themselves.
They ask questions. They become engaged in the world around
them. They help others think critically, too.

6. Creativity is the practice of thinking outside the
box.
While creativity is often treated like a you-have-it-or-
you-don’t quality, students can learn how to be
creative by solving problems, creating systems, or
just trying something they haven’t tried before.
That doesn’t mean every student will become an
artist or a writer.
Instead, it means they’ll be able to look at a problem
from multiple perspectives — including those that
others may not see.
Creativity allows students to embrace their inner
strengths from big-picture planning to meticulous
organization.
As a student learns about their creativity, they also
learn how to express it in healthy and productive
ways.
More importantly, they also become motivated to
share that creativity with others.

7. Collaboration is the practice of working together to
achieve a common goal.
Collaboration is important because whether students
realize it or not, they’ll probably work with other people
for the rest of their lives.
Virtually every job requires someone to work with
another person at some point, even if it’s for something
as simple as what to get for lunch.
Practicing collaboration and teamwork helps students
understand how to address a problem, pitch solutions,
and decide the best course of action.
It’s also helpful for them to learn that other people don’t
always have the same ideas that they do.
In fact, as students practice collaboration more and
more, they’ll learn that they have almost none of the
same ideas that others do.

8. Communication is often taken for granted in today’s
society. After all, if you say something, that means
you conveyed an idea, right?
Not exactly.
In the age of text-based communications — SMS,
emails, social media, etc. — it’s never been more
important for students to learn how to convey their
thoughts in a way that others can understand them.
That’s because text-based communications
lack tone, which is critical to understanding the
context of someone’s words.
Still, even in situations where vocal tone is
available, students need to learn how to
communicate effectively.
