What does it teach?
We believe that every student in every school deserves to have access to the tools and digital skills that will set them up for success in the job market of today — and tomorrow.
With more than 100 hours of curriculum, Applied Digital Skills teaches a wide range of lessons in computer and digital literacy using practical soft skills for life and work. The curriculum includes lessons such as Research and Develop a Topic, where students develop tests for credible sources; Plan and Budget, where students collect and analyze data about a long-term, contractual purchase; and Picking the Next Box Office Hit, which teaches students to analyze movie data and formulate a data-driven hypothesis.
Applied Digital Skills also includes lessons that link digital skills with important technology topics. Lessons like – Technology’s Role in Current Events, Technology, Ethics and Security, Technology at Work, and Equal Access to Technology – encourage self-directed research that highlights students’ creativity and critical thinking skills.
Why is it important?
Digital literacy, problem-solving, and creativity are often cited as essential skills for jobs of the future, but a report from The Economist’s Intelligence Unit reveals that among 18- to 25-year-olds, less than half (44%) believe that their education system is providing them with the skills they need to enter the country’s workforce.
Applied Digital Skills encourages students to apply the digital skills they learn through the program to relevant, real-life problems.
