This week, I viewed a website called Partnership for 21st Century Skills. The website is http://www.p21.org/.
Some neat things about this website:
- It has a simple layout that you can clearly navigate
- It gives a general overview of 21st Century Skills
- A great announcement page on activities involving 21st Century Skills
- There is a lot of reading that must be done and it does not break the reading down
What I love about the website:
- It breaks down 21st Century Skills into the different areas.
- It gives resources to help teachers to incorporate 21st Century Skills into the classroom
- It gives assessment ideas for 21st Century Skills
- It is extremely easy to navigate
- It is a quick reading
I like the breakdown that you identified for the pros and cons of the site. Like you, I agree with much that is on the site, but I feel that they could have a synopsis of their mission or a way to access the needed information quickly. As I was navigating through the site, however, I did come across a 2 page PDF that could be printed off that highlighted the main ideas behind the project so that would be helpful to show others and help them to understand the partnership clearly.
ReplyDeleteI like the Route 21 site as well! Since this site gave real life ways to incorporate these skills into lessons, it put me more at ease with the process before us.
I agree that there was a lot of reading on the P21 site and it could have been broken up in a way that was easier to navigate.
ReplyDeleteI didn't look at the Route 21 site until I saw the link in your post and I really like it. It provided some great ideas and resources for teachers to help them teach 21st century skills successfully.
