• Use technology comprehensively to develop
proficiency in 21st century skills.
• Knowledge of core content is necessary, but no longer
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.
