Research-to-Resource: Use of Technology to Support 21st Century Skills in a Performing Ensemble Program

Abstract

In a global society, 21st century skills are fundamental for every student. Furthermore, in today’s digital world, technology is expected to be part of students’ learning experiences. In the following research-to-resource article, I provide practical strategies and ideas for integrating technology into a performing ensemble program in order to develop students’ 21st century skills. In particular, I provide specific practices which use technology to fulfill 21st century skill—creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, communication, technology literacy, and cross-cultural skills.
