Today you received an email about our schools descriptors:
An Authentic Learning Environment;
Where All Students Experience Applied Learning
Where Collaboration is the Rule
Where Technology Makes a Difference
Where Students Make Things Happen
I would like to add the ICT(Information and communication technologies) standards into that mix. How are you incorporating these 21st century skills into your classroom?
Creativity & Innovation: I can generate new ideas, products, or processes, such as:
* expressing myself in digital work;
* exploring systems using models and simulations;
* identifying trends and forecast possibilities.
Communication and Collaboration: I can use digital tools to collaborate and communicate with others locally and globally.
* Tools could include wikis, blogs, email, online surveys, and video conferencing.
Research and Information Fluency: I use digital tools such as:
* search engines, online databases, surveys, RSS feeds to gather, evaluate, and use information effectively.
Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making: I identify problems, create methods of investigation, collect data, and make informed decisions based on my findings.
* Tools could include calculator, survey, spreadsheet, graphing software, flow charts, and concepts maps.
Digital Citizenship: In my work I use tools with appropriate safeguards to:
1. Practice appropriate and legal behavior.
2. Cite the work of others.
3. Support my own learning.
4. Respect the views, information and opinions of others.
Technology Operations and Concepts: I use digital applications effectively and can demonstrate how to name, move, paste, convert files, and folders. I have strategies to effectively troubleshoot problems.
