"Teaching our students to create can have a wide-ranging effect on them. It often goes beyond simply helping them learn the content specific to our classes.

A recent study shows that employers want workers with an increasingly demanding skill set including problem-solving, digital literacy, leadership, and creativity."

Implementing activities in the 4Cs also promotes media and digital literacies.
Common Sense Media defines media literacy as "the ability to identify different types of media and understand the messages they're sending."
As students produce media products, they are more likely to become thoughtful consumers of media.
The American Library Association defines digital literacy as “the ability to use information and communication technologies to find, evaluate, create, and communicate information, requiring both cognitive and technical skills.”
As students engage with the types of activities and assignments presented through this site, they strengthen their abilities to use information and communicate it to others.
