These include Learning/Innovation, Information/Media/Technology, and Life/Career. ]]> 2023-03-24 22:28:43 UTC https://padlet.com/white25emily/2dcapvh2vokcv7o5/wish/2530951758 white25emily https://padlet.com/white25emily/2dcapvh2vokcv7o5/wish/2530955976 These skills are needed for students' future jobs and careers. Learning 21st Century Skills will prepare this generation for knowing how to think critically and figure things out for themselves. They will identify true information online and understand statistical data. Lastly, they will learn how to socialize with others appropriately and how to "go with the flow" of everyday changes at work. ]]> 2023-03-24 22:40:44 UTC https://padlet.com/white25emily/2dcapvh2vokcv7o5/wish/2530955976 white25emily https://padlet.com/white25emily/2dcapvh2vokcv7o5/wish/2530972588 Under the umbrella of learning and innovating, there are the 4 C's critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. Teaching students these skills effectively create students who are more independent and become better problem solvers. This will help them in their future careers by becoming critical thinkers and being able to collaborate and communicate with their coworkers. ]]> 2023-03-24 23:30:42 UTC https://padlet.com/white25emily/2dcapvh2vokcv7o5/wish/2530972588 white25emily https://padlet.com/white25emily/2dcapvh2vokcv7o5/wish/2530975731 Teaching students how to navigate the internet and become tech savvy is an essential skill to have in the Innovation Era. These skills help students differentiate false and true information on the internet, understand statistical data and facts, and understand the technology that has become second nature to most. ]]> 2023-03-24 23:39:54 UTC https://padlet.com/white25emily/2dcapvh2vokcv7o5/wish/2530975731 white25emily https://padlet.com/white25emily/2dcapvh2vokcv7o5/wish/2530983283 Image of "critical thinking" sourced from insidehighered.com

In this lesson, students would read a story about The Grand Canyon. Then, we would come up with a Main Idea Statement as a class. In their collaborative groups, the students would be assigned a paragraph to identify key details and justify how the details support the main idea to the class. ]]> 2023-03-25 00:23:14 UTC https://padlet.com/white25emily/2dcapvh2vokcv7o5/wish/2530990146 white25emily https://padlet.com/white25emily/2dcapvh2vokcv7o5/wish/2530993434 These are more personal skills that would transfer into beneficial work skills. These include flexibility, leadership, initiative, productivity, and social skills. Understanding when you are wrong and admitting your wrongdoing is a life skill we all have to learn. As well as being flexible and knowing when it is time to change or react to change in an appropriate manner. ]]> 2023-03-25 00:33:08 UTC https://padlet.com/white25emily/2dcapvh2vokcv7o5/wish/2530993434 In the Classroom white25emily https://padlet.com/white25emily/2dcapvh2vokcv7o5/wish/2531013519 Since 2nd Grade is where I am comfortable, I will use 2.W.TTP.1- Write opinion pieces on topics or texts.

The students will read two opinion texts on the benefits and disadvantages of technology in the classroom. Then, students will create an opinion text of their own. They will navigate kiddle.co to find factual and relevant information to support their opinions.

For this lesson, the students will identify an important leader from history or present time. Then, they will research specific leadership traits of their leader. This will teach the students about important leadership qualities that they can portray in their lives. ]]> 2023-03-25 01:44:28 UTC https://padlet.com/white25emily/2dcapvh2vokcv7o5/wish/2531019511
