Partnership for 21st Century Skills

I visited the Partnership for 21st Century Skills website. It is a very informative site. I personally was not aware of it. I noticed that the site was mentioned in one of the group wikis as a great resource. It appears that it has many resources and information that teachers can utilize to help with incorporating 21st century skills into our classrooms.
From reviewing the site I discovered that Ohio is the 14th state to join the Partnership for 21st Century Skills. This is very interesting to me as I teach in the state of Ohio. What will this mean to me? I'm not sure. In reading the article it stated that Ohio will be reviewing and revising the pre-K-12 academic content standards to include 21st century skills. I think that it is great that the state of Ohio is reevaluting the standards. I hope that this will infact help educators determine what we need to strive for to ensure that our students are ready for the workplace and the "real world."

Blogging in the Classroom

I teach Accounting, Personal Finance, Computer Apps I and Computer Apps II for grades 9-12. I could utilize blogging in both of my computer application courses. It could be a way for the students to interact with me and their peers to ask questions about lessons that we have covered. I think that it would enhance their lessons because it would have them become more involved in the technological world. I try to expose my students to different technologies and to see what we can utilize in the classroom to make learning fun and interesting. I believe this would be a great idea.
