This book makes a case for a STEM-based approach across the curriculum by highlighting the potential impacts of rapid societal change, newly emerging information technologies, and the increasing demand for a new generation of skillful and well-rounded citizens and workers. The book discusses how thinking skills, collaborative learning, communications-related information technologies, science and math, language and literacy, and arts education can be used as mutually reinforcing instruments in preparing young learners. The role of the family, teachers, and school administration in creating an environment where young students can stand a chance is also articulated. Above all, the book reiterates the value of pedagogically attuned teachers who are sensitive to the diversity of backgrounds and capabilities of students. They will oversee and guide the transformation of young learners who will be trained to trust their creativity, humanity, and critical thinking skills in navigating the 21st century world.

PrefaceIntroduction: Essential Skills in a Changing WorldChapter 1: Thinking Skills: Critical and Creative Thinking in a Technologically-Intensive WorldChapter 2: Collaborative Learning: Teamwork and Social Learning StrategiesChapter 3: Communication TechnologiesChapter 4: Science and Mathematics: 21st Century Practices in the ClassroomChapter 5: Language and Literacy: Communications Skills in a Digital AgeChapter 6: Arts Education: Connections, Knowledge, and Informed Encounters

In an era of fake news, screens everywhere, and the latest device, digital literacy is more important than ever for students of all ages. While technology has many benefits, it also has distractions from the traditional classroom and the tried-and-true ways of learning. Adams and Hamm show the research that striking a balance between the old and the new is the best way to create multi-literate students in our increasingly complex world. With sample lesson plans on STEM subjects, technology, literacy, and the arts, Collaboration, Communication, and Critical Thinking is an innovative approach to embracing technology, but sticking to the old foundations and basics of learning.
