The four “C”s

• Critical thinking and problem solving

• Communication

• Collaboration

• Creativity and innovation

As the three “R”s serve as an umbrella for other subjects, the four “C”s do for other skills.

What does 21st Century Learning look like?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-klc2KijMG8

Look For:

1. How are students working? What are they doing?

2. What tools do students have to do their work?

3. What new learning environments support their work?





Project- and

Problem-Based

Some Cautionary Tales:It takes a lot more than physical design and

technology to make a 21st Century School

• UK Open Learning Environments – 1970s

• Massachusetts –New High Schools, mid-1990s

• NW England– new Learning Centres

The big question:

Are the teachers ready to teach in the new

learning environments?

Putting it all together

• Embed 21st Century Skills into Curriculum

• Do projects (PBL)

• Assess for learning through performance

• Learning spaces and environment

• Technology

• Get the teachers ready!

“Auction Audit”

A teen bought an iPad on

eBay for $500, he sold it for

$600. He bought it again for

$700 and sold it for $800. Did

he gain, lose or break even?

Problem Scenario

#1 Cell Phones: Déjà Vu

You are a teacher on the technology team,

advocating for the use of cell phones as

handheld computers in the every classroom.

Even though every known job in the world is

somehow computer-dependent, you know

there is great resistance to this idea. It

reminds you of the old controversy of using

calculators in the classroom. What will you do

to support this techno-savvy advancement?
