In this day and age, digital learning is no longer separate from the rest of the curriculum, but integrated into the instruction already in place. You certainly know of the 3 Rs, but have you heard of the 4 Cs? Over a decade ago, the National Education Association (NEA) established the Partnership for 21st Century Skills. Out of that grew the 4 Cs - four specific skills essential to 21st century education.
Communication: Sharing ideas clearly and effectively
using multiple media and technologies and knowing how to assess their
effectiveness.
Collaboration: Working together to reach a goal
Critical Thinking: Using various types of reasoning
(inductive and deductive) and learning across subjects and disciplines
Creativity: Creating original ideas that demonstrate
inventiveness and innovation
This is obviously an ambitious undertaking, but I am here to help. Choose one thing to work on this year. Click on one of the links above to get information and help on just some of the exciting new ideas and approaches out there. If you need help with something else, email me!
