American Public School and University Curricula and the Teaching of E-Participation Proficiencies [via Collaborative Software Community Group]

Public school and university curricula topics include new literacies, computer
literacy, Web literacy, collaborative and productivity software literacy, and
e-participation proficiencies.

The National Council for the Social Studies defines social studies as “the
integrated study of the social sciences and humanities to promote civic
competence.” “Social studies educators teach students the content knowledge,
intellectual skills, and civic values necessary for fulfilling the duties of
citizenship in a participatory democracy.”

Collaborative and productivity software are the software of coursework, of
workplaces, as well as of e-participation. Computer literacy, Web literacy and
collaborative and productivity software literacy are components of civic
competence, are components of e-participation proficiencies.

Student government activities, at American public schools and universities, can
also be of use for teaching students e-participation proficiencies.
