So what are 21st Century Learning Skills? [|Ted Lai], Director of Information Technology for the Fullerton Elementary School District puts it this way... // "In a nutshell, these are the skills that will help people be globally competitive in the 21st Century. Especially with our students, these are skills that include not only the curricular standards but also a host of other essential skills like communication, collaboration, and creativity. ** Literacy ** doesn’t merely refer to the ability to read and write but also the ability to evaluate and synthesize information, media, and other technology. // At the heart of 21st Century Learning, in my opinion, is the piece on creating authentic projects and constructing knowledge // … essentially making connections between ** learning ** and the ** real world ** !" from (Education Innovation) //

A curriculum for the 21st century has certain critical attributes; it is interdisciplinary, [|project-based], relevant, rigorous and real-world. It also involves developing the following attributes in learners:
 * Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
 * Collaboration across Networks and Leading by Influence
 * Agility and Adaptability
 * Initiative and Entrepreneurialism
 * Effective Oral and Written Communication
 * Accessing and Analyzing Information
 * Curiosity and Imagination (from What is 21st Century Learning?)
