Educational

For the first time in history, educators are preparing students

for careers that do not yet exist.

Careers that require 21st century skills

21st Century Skills

Think Globally Work together Work independently Think of others first Research, Evaluate, Create Communicate Effectively Set Goals

Do these skills sound new to you?

They’re Not!

Jesus said the very same

things in the 1st century.

 

”Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole

creation. “

Mark 16:15 (American Standard Version)

Think Globally

Communicate

Effectively

The Disciples practiced it.

All the believers were united in heart and mind.

And they felt that what they owned was not their own, so they shared everything they had.

Acts 4:32 (New Living Translation)

Work together

Think of

others

The skills are not new.

The tools for completing the job are new.

Digital technology allows us to reach the world

instantly

Our students are comfortable with this technology

because they have grown up with it.

Educators are sometimes uncomfortable with it because it is foreign to them.

Digital Divide

Digital Immigrants

Digital Immigrants

Are you a “Digital Immigrant”?

When you were young…

Did your game system look like this?

Did your music come from this?

Did your college papers come from this?

Did research look like this?

Does your classroom look like this?

If so you are a

“digital immigrant”.

Painfully slow to watch, wasn’t it?

That’s how digital natives feel in your classroom.

That’s why the natives are restless.

Digital Immigrant Ideas

Do it right the first time A bird in the hand is worth two in the

bush Save for a rainy day Work first; play later Work Quietly Work Independently
