21st Century Skills

    This is a pretty good video that talks about what are 21st Century learners and what does that mean.  I especially like the concept that we need teachers (adults) who know when to use the technology and when it isn't the best tool for the learning.

note-taking 21st Century Skills

  • Instead, students should be learning note-taking as a way of organizing data and curating information they need for a defined purpose.  Students should sift and cull, summarize and synthesize. Students should learn how to take notes in ways that correlate with real-life situations. Finally, students should master the skill of making meaning from their notes and finding the best ways to share that meaning with others.

      This is so true.  Reminds of the idea that students should be able to make notes, not just take notes.

      Absolutely agree - this is so important! Simple strategies would be really great for taking time to have students think and add to their notes.
  • When does our note-taking have a real purpose? When we are collecting field notes, listening to a webinar or YouTube training video, scanning a book for nuggets of wisdom. When we attend workshops or conferences, or even when we meet someone for a networking lunch.

      These are great examples of why we take notes in the professional world.  These would be great examples to share with students.
  • What are the actual skills students need in order to organize the vast amounts of information they must cull through to make meaning and solve problems? Is note-taking from the Internet, from Twitter, or from texts really a different kind of animal? Won’t students buy into the note-taking process if they understand that it matters for something more than spitting back a professor’s lecture notes that haven’t changed in the last twenty years?

      These are great questions!

  • I have a theory that teachers do this because students refuse to read the boring textbook (another issue), so the teacher digests it for them and then conducts a forced walk through the material. Many teachers, unfortunately, think this is what they are supposed to do; sadly, they think it’s what teaching really is.

      How often do we do the thinking for our students?
  • But at the very least, such notes should include hyperlinks, should be posted in a shared digital space, and should be open to amendment and annotation by the students themselves.
  • Likewise, we need to think of note-taking as something more than the traditional Cornell style. Note-taking should include brainstormed lists, diagrams and drawings, photographs, and other artifacts of learning. We should rethink note-taking not as outlined material for the test, but as blogs, wikis, backchannels, discussion forums, and status updates. The form of the notes should suit their purpose; the tool for taking the notes should do so as well.

    So it may come as a surprise that according to a 2010 study, only 66.5% of students take notes. And of those students, there is often no structure or strategy.
