Technology Skills

Technology pervades modern society. It impacts most aspects of the personal and academic/
professional lives of youth and adults. Furthermore, it has the potential to substantially support the
achievement of many of the 21st century skills discussed previously in this chapter: Its wise use
demands critical thinking, it expands and enriches opportunities for communication and collaboration,
it is a powerful tool for creativity and innovation, and it can contribute to global awareness and
competence. Furthermore, technology as a tool for learning and expression can contribute to progress
in each of the themes of the CA CCSS for ELA/ELD and the CA ELD Standards: Meaning Making,
Language Development, Effective Expression, Content Knowledge, and Foundational Skills.
