The Moving Forward<\/a>\u00a0wiki caught my attention today.\u00a0 As I looked through the list of 21st century skills, I noticed several absent items as compared to lists from just one or two years ago.<\/p>\n

There is no mention of productivity tools.\u00a0 There is\u00a0usually an emphasis on learning to use Word, Excel and PowerPoint in most sets of 21st century skills.\u00a0 There is a bullet for computerized presentation skills, but I think the lists is referring more to the skill of presenting effectively and not the skill of using PowerPoint.\u00a0 This is a great step forward.\u00a0 It shows we are moving from an emphasis on learning to use specific programs to an environment where programs are viewed as tools to accomplish grander things.<\/p>\n

The new ISTE NETS for Students<\/a> has a similar ring.<\/p>\n

1. Creativity and Innovation
\n2. Communication and Collaboration
\n3. Research and Information Fluency
\n4. Critical Thinking, Problem-Solving & Decision-Making
\n5. Digital Citizenship
\n6. Technology Operations and Concepts<\/p>\n

This is an exciting list if you are a teacher.\u00a0 Look at that first item!\u00a0 Our students must be creative and innovation.\u00a0 This sounds like the post I had a couple of days ago<\/a>.\u00a0 The ISTE set looks a lot like the original 21st century skills<\/a> I linked to.<\/p>\n

The Ohio Academic Content Standards for Technology<\/a>\u00a0will have to be updated to reflect these new ISTE standards, but that\u00a0may take years.\u00a0 As educators we need to focus on how we can begin to implement these standards now.\u00a0 Each year our young students lose is much more than a year in the life of a life-long-learning adult.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
