OdysseyWare – Teachers – Online For School Or Home – Student Engagement, Teacher Assistance

In a report issued by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills, they define literacy of Information and Communications Technology as, “the ability to use technology to develop 21st century content knowledge and skills, in the context of learning core subjects. Students must be able to use technology to learn content and skills — so that they know how to learn, think critically, solve problems, use information, communicate, innovate and collaborate (Results That Matter, Partnership for 21st Century Skills, 2006)”.
