I'm doing an assignment for a comm class about the IT/Digital education (or lack thereof) given to school students. The assignment is based on communication and using communication tools (such as online forums) to gain perspectives on issues.

So please offer your opinion or any factual or objective links, this is the topic...

Communications skills for a Digital Age workforce

The (hypothetical) Department of Education is concerned that students may not be graduating from year twelve with skills relevant for the Digital Age workforce.

* provide a concise summary of the most important ways in which digital communications technology and practices are changing in the contemporary workforce
* suggest a set of core digital communications skills that could be introduced into the upper secondary curriculum to meet these changing circumstances
