Partnership for 21st century skills
The speed of technology is changing rapidly. The reaction I have about the website on Partnership for 21st century skills was a reality check. Today's educator's need to be more prepared, flexible, knowledgeable and able to multitask. There is a greater need for strong cognitive skills and analytical skills. Educators need to prepare themselves for the rapid changes that are taking place in the classroom. The information that I read was not surprising. The information on the website confirmed what I already perceived about integrating technology in the classroom. I need to prepare myself for the challenges that will take place using 21st century skills. It reinforces my belief that you can never stop learning. Educators must keep an open mind to change. What is useful knowledge today may be of little use in a short period of time. Educators must be aware that students need to be well prepared in both the classroom and in the workforce. Technological has allowed a smaller workforce to create a higher production capacity.
