ISTE Identifies 7 Traits of Digital Learners

It's been five years since Cathy N. Davidson, co-director of the annual MacArthur Foundation Digital Media and Learning Competitions, declared that 65 percent of grade-school kids may work in jobs that haven't been invented yet, but the statistic is still relevant.

Murray, director of Innovation for Future Ready Schools at the Alliance for Excellent Education.
