What skills are necessary for students in the 21st Century?I am still wrestling with this question about what skills are necessary for students and our country to be successful in the 21st century. Even though I love technology, the necessary skills will not solely be technology-oriented. In fact, I am learning that traditional skills like reading, writing, arguing, researching and collaborating will play a prominent role. Some of these have been around since the dawn of time and may need updating to be useful in media-rich and globalized world. For now, I research these skills and try to think about their relative importance. Below are a few of the more interesting resources (including this link). In a future post, I will take a more definitive stance on 21st century student skills.
