Creating and Collaborating: The Keys to 21st Century Literacy

 

U.S. educators in the early twenty-first century face formidible challenges, but are blessed with access to unprecendented tools and opportunities for shared professional learning. As teachers we must help our students master content area knowledge and skills, but also develop and refine a set of important 21st century literacy skills which are not measured on traditional, multiple-choice examinations. How can we effectively and realistically enable our students and teachers to meet the learning demands we have inherited from 20th century legislative mandates, and simultaneously embrace and encourage the development of 21st century skills? A focus on creating and collaborating within a context of project based learning offers hope in the face of these challenges. Lets explore together practical ways students and teachers are using digital tools to create and collaborate together, reaching new heights of student achievement and documentable learning.

 

This session was presented at the 2008 ODLA conference on 14 Nov 2008, and as one of the keynote addresses for the MASSCUE conference on 19 Nov 2008.
