Leyden believes... that students are different today.
Leyden believes.... that the answer to this question is one life. "Should we consider students to have two separate lives - a relatively digitally unplugged life at school and a digitally saturated life away from school - or should we consider them to have one life that integrates their lives as students and digital citizens?" From Jason Ohler'sDigital Community Digital Citizen (2010)
Leyden believes... that education has to becomemore than just aboutstandardized tests.
Leyden believes... that we need to be focusing more on: The Four C's: Critical thinking Collaboration Communication Creativity 21st Century Fluencies Ken Kay, "The Seven Steps to Becoming a 21st Century School or District," 2011 Image from the 21st Century Fluency Project
