21st Century Skills

My Views On:
21st Century Skills


Students need to acquire different, evolving skill sets to cope and thrive in today’s society
Digital-Age literacy’s are necessary to function in a knowledge society.
Examples:
Basic Literacy
Scientific Literacy
Economic Literacy
Technological Literacy
Visual Literacy
Information Literacy
Multicultural Literacy
Global Awareness

Inventive Thinking cognitive skills become increasingly critical as technology becomes more prevalent in our everyday lives.
Examples:
Adaptability/Managing Complexity
Self-Direction
Curiosity
Creativity
Risk-taking
Higher-Order Thinking and Sound Reasoning

Students also need to have effective communication and levels of high productivity
We as teachers need to better educate ourselves in the ways of technology so that we can better help our students. These skills listed are very important skills for today's students to posess. Which means that we as teachers must posess them first so we may pass them on.
