My three words for 21st Century Learning Global, Creativity, Collaboration

21st Century Skills Overview 21st Century Skills are preparing students to go into our fast-paced, connected world and become great leaders in different areas. In order to properly prepare our students for this world, we must encourage them to develop problem-solving skills and critical thinking skills. These are essential in our changing world. Many problems that our students will be working with don't even exist yet. To develop these problem-solving skills, we need to encourage global literacy so that they can relate and understand other cultures, people, and problems other countries may be facing. Global literacy skills can expose our students to more possibilities, which will help boost creativity and problem-solving skills. Two heads are better than one, which is why to problem solve, you need to have great communication and collaborations skills. Many of these skills can be developed and exercised through the links and ideas on my Communication and Collaboration page. In order to research and get information for developing a solution, students must have Information, media, and technology skills. Not only will most of our problems of the future be solved through these skills anyway, but it also instills a logical ability to trouble shoot and problem solve.
