I think schools need to have clearly outlined plans for how 21st century technology skills are taught. I think more than just how this application or that program should be taught, though. Instead, teachers should be focusing on how to help students learn how to skillfully use technology. You are right, students should learn how to do basic troubleshooting. They should learn about netiquette and internet safety. Applications and software will continue to change, so schools must start teaching students the skills for figuring out how to use new Web 2.0 technologies and navigating the web appropriately. And bravo to you on your blog! Very impressive! Keep it up! Mike, I agree! I think schools need to have clearly outlined plans for how 21st century technology skills are taught.
