What are 21st Century Thinking Skills?



Gaining clarity in expectations
Is there anything I haven't made clear?
Rather than "Does anyone have any questions?" which implies they are stupid.

What do we need to be aware ofwhen integrating elearning thinking skills
-purpose
-authentic
-inspires questioning
-creates connectiveness

Technology could become redundant where thinking skills will not.

Seek clarity in their thinking.
"Tell me more about why you want to do that" You may be surprised with their explanation.
Encourage children to clarify your ideas to develop their understanding and clarify expectations asked of them.
