Educators face many challenges in making sure students have the literacies they'll need to be productive in the 21st century. Keeping up with technology is certainly a major challenge; making learning fun and meaningful while using technology; and showing how necessary tools are in acquiring skills that are essential to be productive.
Will Richardson points out that "more and more content will be user generated". Educators will need to teach students to be editors as well as readers. Critical reading will become an even more important skill. Curriculum will gravitate toward teaching how to manage the amount of information made available to students. Collaboration will become the standard, requiring educators to put additional focus on teaching students to "work with others and be accepting and open to opposing views".
