3. Global Challenges Facing Secondary Education • The dominant education model is largely based on 20th century educational practices that do not include digital literacy. • Students are not engaged, long for relevance; high drop out rates globally. • A learning gap exists between the teachers and the students with technical knowledge. Teachers often lack context of how technology is used • in real life. • Students lack essential 21st century skills needed to enter the workforce.

4. 21st Century Skills

5. 21st Century Skills It is not just about the core academic subjects of math and science, but the intersection of these and other subjects and how students use critical thinking skills. To be competitive in the 21st century, students will need to make connections and integrate ideas across the various disciplines—what Daniel Pink calls “symphony”—the ability to visualize, recognize patterns, and make connections.
