p.39Reaching Our Goal
All learners will have engaging and empowering learning experiences both in and outside of school that prepare them to be active, creative, knowledgeable, and ethical participants in our globally networked society.
To meet this goal, we recommend the following actions:
1.1 Recommendation: Revise, create, and adopt standards and learning objectives for all content areas that reflect 21st century expertise and the power of technology to improve learning.
p.391.2 Recommendation: Develop and adopt learning resources that use technology to embody design principles from the learning sciences.
p.391.3 Recommendation: Develop and adopt learning resources that exploit the flexibility and power of technology to reach all learners anytime and anywhere.
p.29 we need adaptive learning skills that blend content knowledge with the ability to learn new things. This requires developing deep understanding within specific domains and the ability to make connections that cut across domains
p.29today. We also need to know how to use the same technology in learning that professionals in various
disciplines do.Professionals routinely use web resources and participatory technology such as wikis, blogs, and user-generated content for the research, collaboration, and communication demanded in their jobs.
p.90 5.5 Recommendation: Design, implement, and evaluate technology-powered programs and interventions to ensure that students progress through our K-16 education system and emerge prepared for the workplace and citizenship.
We have to create learning spaces that allow all students the best opportunity to learn.
