http://www.21stcenturyskills.org/
Reaction to website: This website has lots of information. It seemed to try to bridge the gap between curriculum and technology. It gave lots of ways to implement technology into the core areas of teaching.
Information that surprised me: It gave life skills on how to use technology productively. That The United States is adopting the partnership of 21st century skills. There are 14 states currently adopting the partnership.
Did you disagree with anything on the website? Why?: What I read seemed like good ideas on how to use technology effectively.
What are the implications for your students, and for you as a contemporary educator?: For my students a basic understanding of the core subjects will help them the most. It has information on how and what to implement as far as technology goes. It gives information for educators on standards that they can use technology to achieve them.

Raineyb,
ReplyDeleteI like I you brought up life skills. We are so behind in today's education on life skills. We spend so much time assessing facts that I wonder what our students will do in the real world. This is when it counts and they will be unprepared. I try to use the NY Times learning blog site. It helps deal with current events and real world problems. My students are behind on being a citizen and how to know and look to solve problems.
I saw this in P21 with their Mile standards. Even though my state (Virginia)is not in support yet, I can use some of the tech standards in the lessons.
