As I was doing
research on the 21st Century Skills for my January website I found this interesting site: https://sites.google.com/a/staff.gtchs.org/wjohnsonleadership-2013/21st-century-classroom-activities
with websites and skills that offer technical learning adventures for you and
your students. If you’re bored today you
will be totally entertained-meserized-engaged with these sites!
blabberize.com (animate reactions to literature and current
events)
discoveryEd.com
(video streaming)
dropbox.com
(paperless storage)
escrapbooking.com
(e scrapbooking)
gcast.com
(creating a podcast)
livebinders.com
(paperless storage of materials)
Prezi.com (create
multi-media presentations)
Sruveymonkey.com
(completing an online survey)
Here are some activities
(for you and your students) that they recommend to foster 21st Century technical
skills:
Sending
professional emails
Using the internet
for research
Using a Smartboard
Building a wiki
Creating a
photostory
Writing a
classroom blog
Assessing and
evaluating research sources
Interpreting media
sources
Incorporating the
use of digital technologies in the classroom (PDAs, media players, GPS,
computers, SmartPhones, etc.)
