It is necessary that students are equipped with these new skills – digital learning skills, in addition to traditional skills e.g. reading skills and note-taking ones. The digital world dictates that we are linked via the Internet and that we share the data, stories, and information.

Ultimately, the ability needed is the ability to teach oneself.
Did you know that there are about 7,000 languages spoken around the world? Yes, they are, and they all have different sounds, vocabularies and structures.
There are relationships between language and our thought. They shape the way we think, indeed. Let’s listen to cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky’s TED talk.

This confirms the Sapir-Whorfian hypothesis.
“The beauty of linguistic diversity is that it reveals to us just how ingenious and how flexible the human mind is,” Boroditsky says. “Human minds have invented not one cognitive universe, but 7,000.” So, one language equals one universe.
