- #7 As we watch, think about what is on your 21st century posters Does this video validate your thoughts?Can you identify any “missing” elements?
- #13 *archive lucidchartWhat does that look like in a real classroom. Find a real video showcasing the 21st century skills from Teaching Channel, etc. Tie into teacher evaluation tool. Show teaching standards using the star codes. How would that look on an evaluation?ACTIVITYWhat did you see?How do you know?How do you counsel the teacher to move where they need to be?

- #41 Find the right answer and go with consensus, and if you think it’s something different OK, but the will of the group must be acted upon.Collaborate/ConsensusIN what ways was having three people answer the question an advantage? A disadvantage? (Ask at the end)
