Digital Divide“Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”

Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt

What skills do our students need to excel

ACTIVITY 1

Because of today’s digital technology, students live a media rich, connected, and mobile lifestyle, and they are just as often producers of content as they are consumers. Web 2.0 technologies, including social networks and participatory sites provide them with engaging opportunities for interaction and informal learning, and create new opportunities to leverage this informal learning by integrating it purposefully into the fabric of formal learning.
