21st century skills. Toward the end of the 08-09 school year my Department
Chairs and I comprised a list of 21st century 'skills' that we thought
needed to be incorporated and/or re-introduced in our curriculum. Here was
the list:
-thinking critically
-thinking creatively
-appreciation for the arts
-managing complexity/problem solving
-communicating effectively
-integrating technology
-managing time effectively
-promoting teamwork
-developing character
Are we missing anything? Are we tackling too much by working on so many
skills at the same time? Any suggestions or comments would be
appreciated.....
Thanks in advance,
Frank Giuseffi

Here's a Whitepaper I wrote on trends in education and educational
technology.
Hope it's useful or enjoyable! Would love to read your comments.
Happy new year!
