TECHNOLOGY, BROADBAND AND EDUCATION: ADVANCING THE EDUCATION FOR ALL AGENDAReport from the Broadband Commission of the Internal Telecommunication Union with UNESCO

Setting the Stage What’s the rationale for using

technology to promote learning throughout life? Participation in the global economy is

increasingly dependent on 21st century skills

Technology can assist in increasing the efficiency of school systems, transforming pedagogical models, extending learning ooprtunities

There is an increasing digital divide between the developed and developing countries

What are 21st century skills The Assessment and Teaching of 21st

century skills (ATC21S) consortium (2013) describe these skills as: Ways of thinking: creativity, critical

thinking, problem-solving, decision-making and learning

Ways of working: communication and collaboration

Tools for working: ICT and information literacy

Skills for living in the world: citizenship, life and career skills, and personal and social responsibility

Strategic Directions Technology in Education can:

Improve teaching and learning Support teachers Support learners

One-to-one policies 1-1 computer distribution policies (OLPC :

Nicholas Negroponte) Mobile learning (mobile phone, smartphones

and tablets, and phablets)

Looking Ahead Increase Access to Technology and Broadband Incorporate technology and broadband into

job training and continuing education Teach ICT skills and digital literacy to all

educators and learners Promote mobile learning and OERs Support the development of content adapted

to local context and languages Work to bridge the technological divide

between countries
