21st Century Learning and Workforce Readiness

Picture
Today's teachers are faced with the challenging task of preparing our students for success in future careers, some of which do not even exist today. How can we help prepare our students for careers that do not exist? The answer to that question is focusing on creating lifelong learners who are equipped with 21st century skills. These 21st century skills include the following skills:

Critical Thinking

Creativity


One way that I have found to address designing lessons that incorporate the 4 C's of 21st century learning is to create Hyperdoc lessons. Hyperdocs are a great way to create digital tasks where students can self reflect on their learning, create meaningful projects as well as communicate and collaborate with other classmates or even students out side of the classroom. For more information on Hyperdocs, please visit my Lessons Page.

Below are some videos that help to summarize the changes being made in 21st century classrooms that incorporate the 4 C's on Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Communication and Creativity.
