| 21st Century Social Studies Global Learning in the Digital Age
As foundational ICT skills penetrate throughout our society,
students will be expected to apply the basics in authentic, integrated
ways to solve problems, complete projects, and creatively extend their
abilities. ISTE's National Educational Technology Standards for
Students (2007) help students prepare to work, live, and contribute to
the social and civic fabric of their communities.
The new standards identify several higher-order thinking skills and
digital citizenship as critical for students to learn effectively for a
lifetime and live productively in our emerging global society. From: http://www.iste.org/Content/NavigationMenu/NETS/ForStudents/
