LIBRARY STUFF: How To Create A Book List - 0 views

  •  
    "It's actually quite difficult to put together a list that appeals to everyone, especially if the number of titles is restricted.

As opposed to the 20th-century 3 R's framework that purported reading, (w)riting, and 'rithmetic as the three most important skills for students to know, the 4C's indicate communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity as the principal components of a 21st-century learner."
