Editor's Notes
- #8 Traditional literacy, research skills, technical skills, and critical analysis are privileged in schools.
- #9 A call to reform by Policy makers is evidenced in the alternative for states to opt out of the “No Child Left Behind” legislative mandate through the “Race to the Top” initiative and grants, the National Education Technology Plan, and the 45 states that adopted the Common Core Standards, Texas not among them. The Public ’s call is illustrated by the mainstream documentary “Waiting for Superman,” the sections on “Education Reform” in Huffington Post and Wikipedia , and numerous reports and opinions in the mainstream press.
- #10 The business sector, with the exception of the Texas Association of Business , calls for a different set of skills than is currently privileged in traditional curricula. Such as a people who could think, synthesize ideas, communicate, place things in context, and understand the relationships among ideas ” Progressive educators advocate for a “learning reform” strongly facilitated by digital media and the skills and competencies young people enjoy through their affiliations using online social networks and other participatory media in an informal setting. Many educators and education organizations are borrowing ideas for school reform from this out-of-school learning system and integrating new media tools and resources in the curriculum into innovative ways. In my own experiences of collaborating with teachers in elementary, middle, and high schools, many teachers are embracing the affordances of new media, using these tools to motivate and engage their students.
- #11 Add what the public, business, and gov ’t sectors want. I reviewed the works of major associations and organizations that based their 21 st century skills categories on research. I extracted the skills and competencies and made a word cloud that shows by size the frequency of skills listed. As evidenced here, the scope of 21 st century skills encompasses competencies in many areas. By developing assignments that require students to systematically practicing skills to master these competencies, students can demonstrate higher cognitive achievement. What % of your list is comprised of 21 st century skills?
- #15 Collaborate with teachers to plan meaningful assignments Identify content, skills, and tools needed for specific project Integrate new media tools, resources and skills meaningfully and deliberately into the project
