New Guide Helps Educators Integrate 21st Century Skills into K-12 Science Education

NSTA and the Partnership for 21st Century Skills, a public-private organization focusing on skills necessary for student success in the 21st Century, have worked collaboratively to release a Science Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Literacy Map.

The map demonstrates how educators can develop science lessons that combine 21st century–learning skills, such as information and communication skills, with 21st century tools, such as the Internet and multi–media production tools. It guides K-12 educators through a wide range of learning skill examples, as emphasized in the Partnership’s report, Learning for the 21st Century, and cites specific student outcomes demonstrating ICT Literacy success for grades 4, 8, and 12. The map is the fourth in a series of ICT Literacy Maps.
