sufficient, for success in a competitive world. Even if
all students mastered core academic subjects, they
still would be woefully underprepared to succeed in
postsecondary institutions and workplaces, which
increasingly value people who can use their knowledge
to communicate, collaborate, analyze, create,
innovate and solve problems. Used comprehensively,
technology helps students develop 21st century skills.
