Are 21st Century Skills Important? - 59 views

#24 Christie Park on 12 Sep 11Although 21st century skills are fixated on technology, I think teachers can begin to incorporate the skills even without a computer in every classroom. Like Tiger said, as websites such as twitter become the dominant source of information it would be more important to learn how to write detailed and informative paragraphs in 140 words rather than writing a 4 page structured essay. And like Ms. Cuttle said, after we graduate we most likely will not have to write an essay ever again. Teachers should start transitioning into teaching 21st century skills by starting with these more basic skills.
