33 Digital Skills Every 21st century teacher should have
Every single teacher is concerned about his/ her teaching practices and the skills involved in this process. How many times
have you wondered about a better way to teach the same lesson you have delivered to an eariler class? How often have
you used technology to engage your students and improve their learning ? These are some recurring questions we keep
regurgitating each time our teaching skills are put to the test.
It is amazing how technology has changed the whole world giving rise to new forms of education we never thought of. Our
students are more digitally focused than any time before. They spend more time interacting with their mobile devices than
they do with their parents or close relatives. Admittedly, this digital boom has both positive and negative impact on our
students. Lack of concentration, short attention span, distraction, visual stimulus overload, identity theft, lack of real world
socializing, privacy issues, depression, and many more are but a direct result of the growing exposure to this technology.
Studies have even proved that multitasking, which some educational technology experts brag about in relation to the use of
today's technology, reduces the power of our concentration to the half. We should not, However, only look at the empty
side of the cup, the other side is way bigger.

There are actually several pluses for the use of technology in education and to try and list them all here is way beyond the
scope of this short post. Generally speaking, no two argue over the fact that technology advantages in education ( and in
our life at large ) way outnumber its downsides. It is thanks to technology that you are now reading this post and will
probably share it with your colleagues.
There is no blinking the fact that the type of students we teach today are completely different from last century's. We ,
definitely, need to look at some of the skills we, as teachers, need to equip ourselves with to better live up to the challenge.
Among all the challenges we would have in education, there is not as daunting a challenge as catching students focus and
getting them engaged in the learning process. For this particular reason, and in addition to the skills I initially mentioned
in 21st Century Teaching Skills article, I would like to provide you with another list of some equally important digital skills
that you, as a teacher, need to seriously consider if you want to pave the way for the 21st century teaching. I have added a
list of web tools under each skill for teachers to better exploit it.
Please, remember that I have spent many laborious hours working on this post and all I ask is a credit back toEducational
