6. Powerful tool to use
Technology
Technology at its best!
The use of technology in
education is narrowly
conceived. Right now,
schools use technology
primarily as a tool for
developing students’
computer and Internet skills.
The utility of technology can
be used as a powerful
enabling tool for a full range
of essential
knowledge and skills.
t"In order to thrive in a digital
economy, students will need
digital age proficiencies. It is
important for the educational
system to make parallel changes
in order to fulfill its mission in
society, namely the preparation
of students for the world beyond
the classroom. Therefore, the
educational system must
understand and embrace the
following 21st century skills
within the context of rigorous
academic standards "
NCREL & Metiri
Group, 2010
No industry or
organization can remain
competitive today without
making comprehensive
use of technology as a
matter of course in all of
its operations.
In fact, education is the
least technology-intensive
enterprise in a ranking of
technology use
among 55 U.S. industry
sectors, according to the
U.S. Department of
Commerce

7. Technology at its best!
• Use technology comprehensively to develop proficiency in 21st century
skills. Knowledge of core content is necessary, but no longer sufficient, for
success in a competitive world.
• Use technology comprehensively to support innovative teaching and
learning. To keep pace with a changing world, schools need to offer more
rigorous, relevant and engaging opportunities for students to learn and to
apply their knowledge and skills in meaningful ways.
• 3. Use technology comprehensively to create robust education support
systems. To be effective in schools and classrooms, teachers and
administrators need training, tools and proficiency in 21st century skills
themselves.
