What does it mean to have 21st Century Skills?

Access to information at the touch/tap/moment!! Flexibility and thinking outside of how life “used to be” to fit with the availability of incredible tools that students have grown up with and expect. Never being “closed”, the technology is always “on” thus a person could be constantly “in touch” and available or the expectation that you are. The technology is a forward moving trend thus making a person a lifelong learner.

The skills needed would be having the ability to discern what is essential and how to seek the right tools to fit the need. Knowing how to find what you need and matching tools with tasks needing to be accomplished or completed. The desire to use whatever technology is available to connect with others.
