“All students will be prepared to meet the
challenges of a dynamic global society in
which they collaborate, communicate,
create and innovate through ubiquitous
access to people, information and ideas.”
6. •“We believe that a technology-rich environment
enables teachers to design work that emphasizes
21st century learning.
•Students will become empowered collaborators
and communicators, seekers and consumers of
information, and creators of knowledge and media-
rich products.

thinking, and critical and creative decision-making
and problem-solving.”
