*Yes, all the procedures done in the class are
good examples of 21st century skills – group
stands up and shouts “Yes”!
*Some of the procedures done in the class are

not – group stands up and says “Hmmm”!
*No, all the procedures done in the class are
not examples of 21st century skills – group
stands up and says “Weeeh”!
*How is instruction done in the different

*What do they all emphasize?
*Which part of the video has a similar topic as the
one done in Activity A?

“Success in the 21st century requires knowing
how to learn. Students today will likely have
several careers in their lifetime. They must
develop strong critical thinking and
interpersonal communication skills in order to
be successful in an increasingly fluid,
interconnected, and complex world.
Technology allows for 24/7 access to
information, constant social interaction, and
easily created and shared digital content.
In this setting, educators can leverage technology
to create an engaging and personalized
environment to meet the emerging educational
needs of this generation. No longer does learning
have to be one-size-fits-all or confined to the
classroom. The opportunities afforded by
technology should be used to re-imagine 21st-
century education, focusing on preparing students
to be learners for life.
