Today, learning happens everywhere and all the time. Education must extend beyond our classrooms and school walls into the lives of every learner.

These 21st Century Skills Maps are each the result of hundreds of hours of research, development and feedback from educators and business leaders across the nation.

The Internet provides tons of free tools and resources for teachers to use in their classroom. This handbook is for new teahers and/or teachers who are wanting to integrate technology in their classroom. The tools are both to use with students and use professionally.

"As educators focusing on 21st Century Learning, it is important that we are able to share examples of powerful student work that we can share with educators around the world. It is important that we have this opportunity to not only talk about how we can empower students, but as examples of how this has ALREADY affected student learning." A nice listing of 21st century student work examples. Add your own!

But highly effective teachers in today's classrooms are more than this - much more.
