21st Century Teaching and Learning

Partnership for 21st Century Skills--

The Partnership for 21st Century Skills has developed a unified, collective vision for 21st century learning that can be used to strengthen American education.

The graphic represents both 21st century skills student outcomes (as represented by the arches of the rainbow) and 21st century skills support systems (as represented by the pools at the bottom): 

The Partnership for 21st Century Skills is pleased to offer Route 21, a one-stop-shop for 21st century skills-related information, resources and community tools. To get started, take a tour or explore the P21 framework.

The items included in this database reflect the Partnership’s first step in collecting 21st century-skills related materials in one place. Great resources with many links to other sites.

He's joined by Andrea Brands, director of public affairs at AT&T, and Allyson Knox, academic program manager for U.S. Partners in Learning at Microsoft Corp.

This is a very interesting image illustrating just how readers function on the web. Just look at all the areas of Blooms that are targeted-- or rather I should say USED.
