Adapting Social Networking to Address 21st Century Skills

• ‑How are you preparing your students for working in a global marketplace (i.e., innovation, critical thinking, problem solving, global awareness, and self-direction)?

• ‑How are you using technology to build collaborative skills and creativity among your students?

• How are you creating global digital citizens?

• ‑How are you building learning experiences that connect learning to “real life” and encourage independent exploration?

• How can you teach 21st-century skills in economically disadvantaged communities?

A true social learning network incorporates innovative pedagogy through internet-connected communities, digital resources, and a series of Web 2.0 tools that empower students to master the curriculum and to learn issues beyond the classroom.
