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."
