Students and teachers both are finding it necessary to be technologically adept, to be able to collaborate on a global scale and to understand content and media design.

- Expanding definition of literacy is vital.

Schools need to adapt to current student needs and identify new learning models that are engaging to younger generations.
To support such a change, both teaching practice and the tools used in the classroom must adapt. Assessment has also not kept pace with new modes of working, and must change along with teaching methods, tools, and materials.
Use of technology tools that are already familiar to students, project-based learning practices that incorporate real-life experiences, and mentoring from community members are a few practices that support increased engagement.
Add Sticky Note
- These types of activities can increase engagement in learning, making students more willing to stay in school.

Technology tools that are part of everyday life for many students and working professionals should be seen as core tools of the teaching profession that teachers are required to master as any professional would master the tools of his or her trade.
Learners have increasing opportunities to take their education into their own hands, and options like informal education, online education, and home-based learning are attracting students away from traditional educational settings. If the system is to remain relevant it must adapt, but major change comes hard in education.

Technology continues to profoundly affect the way we work, collaborate, communicate, and succeed.
The digital divide, once seen as a factor of wealth, is now seen as a factor of education: those who have the opportunity to learn technology skills are in a better position to obtain and make use of technology than those who do not.
Once seen as an isolating influence, technology is now recognized as a primary way to stay in touch and take control of one’s own learning.
It gives students a public voice and a means to reach beyond the classroom for interaction and exploration.
They expect and experience personalized content in games and websites that is at odds with what they find in the classroom.
The “spaces” where students learn are becoming more community-driven, interdisciplinary, and supported by technologies that engage virtual communication and collaboration.
The ways we design learning experiences must reflect the growing importance of innovation and creativity as professional skills.

As the project got underway, there was considerable interest in seeing the how similarly K-12 and higher education were viewing emerging technology. As it turned out, there is a considerable overlap, but there are also clear distinctions.
collaborative environments and online communication tools
barriers such as policy constraints on using online tools, the fact that many students do not bring laptops to school (as opposed to many college students, who do), and policies that restrict Internet access in many schools.
Over the next year, we anticipate that both groups of technologies will begin to move into the mainstream of teaching practice.
