My Journey Begins...

What about yourself are you most aware of as a learner?

I know that I am easily distracted by people around me. I need an opportunity to process information in silence. I often take longer to process information and form coherent thoughts.  I prefer to learn through visual models.

What do you know about student learning and the 21st Century Learning Competencies (the six dimensions)?
I know there are 6 domains and that 21st Century learning is about having students use technology to create information, not just watch videos to "get info". They need to interact with the technology, not just use it. Twenty-first Century learning is about communicating, collaborating and developing knowledge.

As you think about your instruction, how do you use the 21st Century Learning Competencies (the six dimensions) as a guide to your teaching practices?
I don't know how much I use the 21st Century Learning Competencies to guide my instruction. I have students work together and discuss what they are learning, but I don't always get a chance to have students use technology to interact.
