Donald Clark Plan B: 21st Century Skills are so last century! - 4 views

  • There is no area of human endeavour that is less collaborative than education. Teaching and lecturing are largely lone wolf activities in classrooms.
  • Creative people tend to struggle somewhat at school where academic subjects and exams brand them as failures.

The 4 Things Modern Students Must Understand - Edudemic - 5 views

  •  
    "Learning technologies change student-resource interactions not only by the amount of resources that are now available to students, but also by the quality of the resources. Instead of students being limited to the textbook they receive from their school, that may or may not be outdated, they now have access to resources from literally around the world. Websites like Project Gutenberg and the National Archives give students access to millions of resources, in various forms of media, on just about any topic they could imagine. With that being said, quantity does not necessarily mean quality. For every respectable source of information online, there's an endless amount of second rate information. Teaching students how to find valid and reliable sources of information is paramount to education in the digital age. However, I don't believe it stops there."

Half an Hour: An Operating System for the Mind - 3 views

  •  
    The core of the opposition to what are being called "21st century skills" is contained in the following argument: "Cognitive science teaches us that skills and knowledge are interdependent and that possessing a base of knowledge is necessary to the acquisition not only of more knowledge, but also of skills. Skills can neither be taught nor applied effectively without prior knowledge of a wide array of subjects."
