Globalization and advancing technology are transforming how people interact and work. As virtual teams become more common due to factors like outsourcing, leaders must communicate, build trust, and ensure accountability without face-to-face interaction. Additionally, the virtual job market transcends national economies, so skills like critical thinking, communication, and collaboration are important regardless of location. To survive in this changing environment, individuals need to be adaptable through skills like self-learning, developing backup expertise, flexibility, and multilingual literacy in order to collaborate globally and stay aware of changes.

Digital Fluency is the 21st Century Critical virtual workplace toolset.
In todays digital age we need to develop the skills, mindsets and behaviours to leverage the potential that technology brings us.
The youth in Botswana and Africa remains a core concern for the forum. To increase the strength of existing policies and initiatives geared at the development of our youth society, we intend to initiate a well resourced first independent Youth Think Tank Center-we are currently asking capacity building from various stakeholders

Digital Literacy - 21st Century Workforce DevelopmentCTC Tec
Digital literacy does not replace traditional forms of literacy. It builds upon the foundation of traditional forms of literacy.[1] Digital literacy is the marrying of the two terms digital and literacy; however, it is much more than a combination of the two terms. Digital information is a symbolic representation of data, and literacy refers to the ability to read for knowledge, write coherently, and think critically about the written word.

This was a talk I gave to the students and professors of Kigali Institute of Education. If focused on the ideas that founded OLPC and the problems a large scale project faces.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is a generic term referring to technologies which are used for collecting, storing, editing and passing information in various forms.
The first mistake of many online programs is that they try to replicate something we do in face-to-face classes, mapping the (sometimes pedagogically-sound, sometimes bizarre) traditions of on-ground institutions onto digital space.
We need to recognize that online learning uses a different platform, builds community in different ways, demands different pedagogies, has a different economy, functions at different scales, and requires different choices regarding curriculum than does on-ground education. Even where the same goal is desired, very different methods must be used to reach that goal.
This SlideShare provides a framework for how companies can adopt new human resources management policies and work environments which will appeal to the unique values of Generation Y. It also serves as a reminder that satisfying the unique needs of Gen Y is essential for a company to recruit and retain talented employees. Because the number of Gen Ys is almost four times the size of the number of Generation X, it is in an organization’s best interest to take heed of the implications of this study.
6. • As a result of globalization, technology, work-
life balance, and outsourcing, virtual teams
are becoming more common. Leaders of
virtual teams rarely have the chance to
connect with their direct-reports face-to-face.
Therefore, in addition to the typical challenges
a leader faces when his/her team is all in one
location, virtual leaders must communicate,
build trust, and instill accountability via
technological means.
7. • So in principle, whether you live in Uzbekistan,
Uruguay or Uganda, the state of your national
economy will not necessarily affect your
ability to find work, as the virtual market
transcends national economies.
8. • Hungry employers universally acknowledge that
they’re looking for workers able to take on
nonroutine complex tasks, who can perform
critical thinking at a high level, and who can
communicate effectively and work collaboratively
with teams located in their office or globally. In
this hyperconnected world of computers and
things, average is over because companies can
get excellent software, cheap automation, and
cheap skills from countries with very low labor
cost.
9. Surviving Advancing Information
Technology and Globalization
• Global competition with the earth’s best and
brightest is a reality that is not going away
soon, if at all. They are working at the difficult
task of adaptation to change also so our only
resolve is to face the challenge joyfully.
Reading, writing, and arithmetic are important
but so is multilingual literacy. Without it we
cannot collaborate globally.
10. • Creativity cannot really be taught but it can be
absorbed through exposure and by example.
At minimum we must acknowledge the value
of creativity and change and not be fearful of
it.
11. • Each of us needs to have or develop a backup
set of skills or expertise because it’s unlikely
that any knowledge or skill will last one’s
entire life. Besides, a backup skill can serve as
a wonderful complement to our primary skill.
12. • As an additional corollary to adaptability, we
need to remain flexible. Making hasty and bad
major decisions takes away flexibility.
13. • Self learning will remain a critical skill in this
age of rapid change. We may not be able to
count on school systems to impart this
knowledge so the family may need to fill this
need. At worst, we can develop the ability to
learn how to learn by ourselves through
studied research and ardent application.
14. • Be prepared to read then read some more.
Adding the ability to read and speak another
language is more useful still. If we can
communicate, we can collaborate. Reading
allows us all to stay on top of an ever changing
world. Those who remain unaware of these
changes will be running blind.
• Good luck! Judson Singer
