21st Century Skills
The Partnership for 21st Century Skills has developed a unified, collective vision for 21st century learning that can be used to strengthen American education. The key elements of 21st century learning are represented in the graphic and descriptions below. The graphic represents both 21st century skills student outcomes (as represented by the arches of the rainbow) and 21st century skills support systems (as represented by the pools at the bottom).
The site even gives suggestions for activities that matches content with 21st Century Skills and technology. Note, not all 21st Century skills are technology driven.
English
Math
Science
Geography
HCPS also has purchased a lot of software and access to web sites that match up with many of these skills. Below is a list of the skills that are important, what is available for you to use, and the content areas that probably can use it best. I also give examples of lesson ideas.
