Evaluating 21st Century Skills

September 29, 2009
Your reaction to the Web site...

This website is a great tool for technology. This is exactly what I was looking for as an educator lost in what to do for my students with technology. It gives an in depth look at what tools all students will need when they enter into the world outside of public education. I am trully astonished that this site provides so much information and ideas to support a classroom teacher and every level of students. What information on the site surprised you?
I was very suprised when I saw the framework and student outcomes. This is something many teachers can understand and set goals towards. To see this in printing makes me excited to share this with collegues and to get a jump start in technology.
Did you disagree with anything on the site? Explain.
I did not disagree with anything on this website. I am very enthusiastic to what it offers. The first time visiting this website I spent almost 2 hours clicking my way through all the material it offered.
What are the implications for your students, and for you as a contemporary educator?
The implications for my students is that the possibilities are endless to ensure they are set for 21st century technology. To excel in technolgy and to provide goals and standards set for a very wide open subject. It provides material that I can present to prove what students should be learning through technology.

"The Partnership for 21st Century Skills has emerged as the leading advocacy organization focused on infusing 21st century skills into education. The organization brings together the business community, education leaders, and policymakers to define a powerful vision for 21st century education to ensure every child's success as citizens and workers in the 21st century. The Partnership encourages schools, districts and states to advocate for the infusion of 21st century skills into education and provides tools and resources to help facilitate and drive change."— Partnership for 21st Century Skills
