Our Objective is to explore the Essential Question:

What is 21st century learning and teaching?

• What are the 21st Century Skills that students need to succeed?

• What are the impacts for teachers, administrators, and other educational leaders?

• What do 21st century "engaged" learning activities look like?
• What does a 21st century classroom look like?
• What are the tools educators are using to create and support 21st century learning and teaching?
• How can(how do) web 2.0 "tools" support 21st century learning?
• How can we "model" the use of these tools as teachers and leaders for our students?
• How do I design effective lessons/activities that engage students in 21st century skills?
• How will this look different in different districts?
• Isn't 21st C just technology?
• Is this a passing fad?  Does CDE have a focus on 21sC Skills?
