The document discusses skills needed for the 21st century, including critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, growth mindset, determination, self-regulation, compassion, curiosity, digital citizenship, communication, play, experimentation, grit, information literacy, and connected learning. It emphasizes the importance of developing these skills through play, iteration, and connecting learning both inside and outside the classroom through collaboration with others around the world. Students need to learn attention, participation, knowledge production, and "crap detection" to effectively engage with online information.

14.  When the goal is to prepare students to be
able to be successful in solving new
problems and adapting to new situations,
then deeper learning is called for.
 Calls for such “21st century skills” as
innovation, creativity, and creative
problem-solving can also be seen as calls
for deeper learning—
 helping students develop transferable
knowledge that can be applied to solve
new problems or respond effectively to
new situations. P. 71

22. ResearchIn one study, Blackwell and her colleagues followed
hundreds of students making the transition to 7th grade.
They found that students with a growth mindset were more
motivated to learn and exert effort, and outperformed
those with a fixed mindset in math—a gap that continued
to increase over the two-year period.
Those with the two mindsets had entered 7th grade with
similar past achievement, but because of their mindsets
their math grades pulled apart during this challenging
time.

37. Connectivism
 Connectivism was introduced as a theory of
learning based on the premise that
knowledge exists in the world rather than in
the head of an individual.
 Connectivism proposes a perspective similar
to the Activity theory of Vygotsky as it
regards knowledge to exist within systems
which are accessed through people
participating in activities.
 wikipedia

38. At its heart, connectivism is the
thesis that knowledge is distributed
across a network of connections,
and therefore that learning consists
of the ability to construct and
traverse those networks.

43. Connected Learning for Students
1. Connect students and
teachers inside the
classroom
2. Publish teacher and
student work locally and
globally
3. Connect teachers and
students outside the
classroom
4. Connect with Experts
around the world.
5. Collaborate with others to
share and create
knowledge.

45. When it comes to interacting with
the world of always-on
information, the fundamental skill, on
which other essential skills depend, is
the ability to deal with distraction
without filtering out opportunity.
Rheingold, Net Smart

46. An antidote to our
epidemic distraction
lies in a set of
astonishing
discoveries: attention
can be understood,
strengthened, and
taught.
If focus skills can be
groomed, the
important next
question is whether,
and how, attention
should be integrated
into education.

47.  Instead of complaining about the
problem of distraction, we need to teach
the skills and habit of attention.
 Meditation, prayer, walk in the woods
 Sustained silent reading, (art or writing)
 Goal-setting, (SMART goals)
 Study Skills, prioritizing, calendaring

48.  Information Literacy

49. “The heuristic for crap detection is to make
skepticism your default. Don’t refuse to believe;
refuse to start out believing.” Howard Rheingold

50. By engaging in
knowledge or
media
production, you
tend to develop a
much more
sophisticated
understanding of
how knowledge
and media is
produced more
generally.
