  • 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?
  • What do 21st Century students look like?  What skills can we expect from them?  What are our minimum expectations?
