Research shows that the infusion of technology into our world has changed it: changed the way we live, work, and even learn (Lemke, 2009). Due to this, students now need an expanded set of digital skills in order to succeed in the current and future work environment . In order for students to master the skills necessary for them to compete in the global workforce, they must participate in authentic, engaging, constructivist learning environments (Creighton, 2003). They must take control of their own learning. In order to achieve this, teachers, administrators, students, parents, and even community members must come together as a team to accomplish this goal.

Today's teacher knows that it takes a unique combination of skills to reach 21st century learners - we call this skill set TPACK - Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge. Just like there are many facets in applying content and pedagogical knowledge, there are many facets in technological knowledge. This year, we are going to address the following technological skills and discuss how they apply to the teaching practice: Assessment, Data Analysis, Online and Blended Learning, Development of Technology-Infused Lessons, Google Apps Skills, Troubleshooting, Communication and Collaboration, and Digital Citizenship and Responsibility.
