How we work

"Knowing content" is not sufficient in itself --
rather, students must apply
knowledge to:
• construct new understandings,
• solve problems
• make decisions
• develop products and
• communicate
Technology can facilitate this type of learning

Communication and Collaboration
Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others. Students:
• interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts or others employing a variety of digital environments and media. • communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of media and formats. • develop cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with learners of other cultures. • contribute to project teams to produce original works or solve problems.
“What students should know and be able to do to learn effectively and
live productively in an increasingly digital world ...”
