Lesson 1, Question 4
Comments on Rethinking Education in the New Digital Landscape by Ian Jukes.

Considering that SAT scores still mainly determine college acceptance, change may need to come from the top down.
Am I assessing 21st century skills? What has worked for me? What can I change to achieve long term learning and focus on higher level thinking skills?
I am trying. I was granted a new room arrangement on my wish list this year. The classroom will have large areas for setting up centers for investigation. The idea is to have students making discoveries by interacting with the materials at the centers and reporting on what they have discovered. Their reports will be my means of assessing what they have learned. I am hoping that the learning will be more their responsibility instead of teacher dictated or lecture type delivery of lessons.
