21st Century Skills - p21 Framework part 1

    http://www.21stcenturyskills.org and this paragraph; “A speaker at the FETC Virtual Conference and Expo said he believes that 21st centruy learning is not an option, it's a necessity for students who must go out and compete on a global level. He said "Students deserve it. The world demands it" To make it happen, he said changes need to be made in the way we assess students and in the way we develop teachers.” After reading these two pieces of writing I have to agree that throughout the years teaching has changed due to the rapid growth of technology and the mind set of people wanting to learn.
        This week we were asked to read from
       One question that many will think about after reading these is “How do you think teaching and learning will differ for you and your future students compared with how it was for you and your teachers in K-12?” I think its amazing the changes that our future children will be able to will be able to progress from. For example, When I was a young child technology was just not really in schools like it is today. My idea of technology was a typewriter throughout elementary school for the most part. When we would learn new ideas we had to go read books. Even the library was different back then now a days to have a computer to find a book in the library back when I was in school I would have to get a librarian to help me search through the old card catalogs. On the other hand, when I become a teacher and have children its going to be interesting to how technology will play a role in how much children really will be learning the “criteria” vs. how to use the technology to do what they want for them. 
     When you look at the 21^st skills you have to think about yourself as being teachers and how are you going to teach this information and be learning this information at the same time due to technology is always changing. We have seen this in the short amount of time that the EDU 102 has been created at Niagara Community Collage.
        On my own I had found a video on teachertube.com that talked about the 21^st century skills and it really gave me a different outlook on them and made me really think how we as teachers have to learn so much and teach so differently then the way we were thought back in the day. Now due to the fact these children are able to access so much technology We as teachers have to teach them how to use this technology to better themselves because want these children to not only want to learn and know the right answers, but to be able to ask new question and want to know more than what’s right there in front of them.
