Creating a classroom that fuses 21st Century Skills into a rigorous, standards-based curriculum is vital to ensure our students’ success in today’s ever-changing and interconnected world. The integration of technology into the classroom is one method of meaningfully and purposefully reaching our students “where they are.” Before moving forward with technology integration, it is important to consider the “High Tech, High Touch” concept developed by John Naisbitt. During an era where technology development rules our lives, the High Tech, High Touch concept encourages us to question the role of technology in our lives. It suggests that we consciously select technologies to enhance and “add value to our human lives”. It also suggests that we acknowledge when to step away from technology for the betterment of our social and emotional well-being. This course is designed to assist educators in developing meaningful, engaging, standards-based classroom activities that foster 21st Century Skills, increase achievement and address our students’ social emotional learning.
