Randy Muller challenges IT professionals to have the the same level of skill of an average high student student. I would argue that educators, and anyone else involved in preparing our learners for the 21st Century should have most if not all these skills.
The list includes:
- Blogging
- Linux
- Programming
- Game Consoles and on-line games
- Hardware
- Texting
- Web design & Multimedia
- Tech Support
OK not everyone needs to program or be a Linux guru but having a fundamental understanding of these disciplines would be very helpful. I also question whether the average high school student is playing with Linux and not every high school kid programs. But everything else on the list makes sense.
If you consider yourself an IT professional or an educator then do your skills match up?
