21st Century Classroom Projects
As teachers, we need to prepare our students for jobs that haven't been created yet.
Are we designing lessons that allow students to work together and collaborate to solve problems?
Are we allowing students to use technology to demonstrate their knowledge with projects like podcasting, digital storytelling, blogging, posting to wikis, and video projects?
Are we giving students choices by using layered curriculum, differentiated instruction and menus?
Watch this video about Global Economy in 2011. What does it mean? It means we have to teach our students how to be problem-solvers, resourceful, and creative thinkers.
