STEAM should be the overall ambition of the educational system. It should aim at empowering students to use their creativity in finding new solutions to everyday problems, and at the same time help them understand more about life, society, and culture.
There are many ways in which students can get into the habit of reading. With a little patience, you can find the right approach and help them create a good habit: the habit of reading (if possible) more than 17 minutes per day.
Digital citizenship is essential for all people living in a digital economy. Those who design and implement policies should understand the deep roots of all the processes involved: proper values and right attitudes help shape the necessary skills one needs to develop knowledge and critical understanding of the self and of the world.
Digital portfolios allow students to be more creative and use their imagination. They will need to be creative in the future professional careers, so try to stimulate them as much as possible in the classroom. Just make sure that they have the right tools to unleash their creativity and let them shine!

However, especially during these challenging times, the 5E model could benefit from an additional E, which can be integrated within all the other five: empathize.
Edtech allows both students and teachers to create high-quality content and share it with students all over the world, to experiment in virtual and remote laboratories, and learn more about the world. However, a critical approach is essential to differentiate between sources of information, because “all that glitters is not gold” on the Internet.
Authentic learning is all about going back to basics: learning and experimenting to solve everyday problems. It is successfully used in both K12 and higher education. We believe that with a pinch of edtech it could be a good solution for many students across the globe.
