Holly Clark• It is imperative that in 2015, students be able to

curate, archive and expand on the work they are producing in class.

• Today’s education must help students authentically learn important digital citizenship lessons.  

• Education must students to internalize the core subject as well as vital digital literacy skills such as creating their own digital web presence and learning to effectively and purposefully share their learning with the world.

Herbert Gerjuoy has rightly observed:

• "The new education must teach the individual how to classify and reclassify information, how to evaluate its veracity, how to change categories when necessary, how to move from the concrete to the abstract and back, how to look at problems from a new direction — how to teach himself."

• Creativity and Innovation• Critical Thinking & Problem Solving• Communication:• Collaboration• Information Literacy• Media Literacy• ICT Literacy• Flexibility and Adaptability• Initiative & Self-direction• Social & Cross-cultural Skills• Productivity & Accountability• Leadership & Responsibility• http://dilipbarad.blogspot.in/2015/04/mapping-21st-century-skills-english.html
