NetDay is dedicated to helping the educational community promote and support the use of technology and science as key tools in the development of 21st century skills. We believe that today's tech-savvy students are prepared to take on a new role in their education and in their careers as life-long learners. As opportunities arise to consider the school policy and planning related to 21st century skills, we aim to build a national and local awareness of the importance of including student and teacher voices in the decision-making process. |
