Partnership for 21st Century Skills
This a great website. In this website it discusses the importance of teaching our youth the skills needed for the 21st century. The things on the site that really surprised me were what big name supporters there were. These are large companies, such as Apple. I think this is great that companies get in involved and make sure our youth are up to date on their technology and communication skills.
The only thing that I found a little disturbing was the focus on the core subjects. I am an art teacher and the subjects that are not core, such as art are sometimes that classes that help students make connections. It is also a good place for students to learn the skills that the need to succeed, like communication. A lot of communication is done in art, whether it is verbal, written or visual.
On this website it is asking teacher to teach the students the 21st century skill using 21st century technology. The students need to understand these skills by the time they reach the college level where they have to put these skills to work.
