making sure that all students are prepared to succeed
in a competitive world- a world with plenty of
opportunities for highly skilled individuals and
limited options for everyone else.

useful in any situation.

a lot of the research using internet and various tools. And at the same time these
students are learning very valuable research skills, which they can transplant at
high levels of education, at universities and beyond.
The Role of Technology in 21st Century Learning:
