ICTs and 21st Century Skills
ICTs have tremendous potential to contribute to thedevelopment of 21st Century Skills.
Sadly, the focus is often limited to the development of alimited set of ICT skills
National organizations such as FIT-ED, globalorganizations such as World Links and UNESCO, andmulti-national corporations such as Intel have beenleaders in using technology to develop a broader rangeof skills.
Increased focus and more rigorous assessment areneeded to enhance impact.
The challenge in resource-poor environments is to scaleup such promising approaches.

century skills begins with the development of aconsensus on what that means in very concrete,behavioral terms
Global skill categories need to be refined basedon the local economic and social context
