21st+Century+Skills


 * __21st Century Skills__**

In planning my classroom instruction and activities to address areas of weakness, I wanted to create an interdisciplinary unit with real world problems. I wanted my students to become aware of nutrition requirements, so that they could live a healthier life style. I also wanted them to find relevant information and use problem solving skills. I chose a unit on nutrition since health literacy is a 21st century theme. This unit allowed the studetns to use critical thinking, creative problem solving, and collaborative learning which are 21st century skills. Technology enhanced their learning.
