As I reviewed the site fpr The Partnership for 21st Century, it became clear of the authors intent. Rethinking how students learn. The site is filled with technology lessons and comes complete with its own set of frameworks. The visual pyramid reminds me of our tiering process already in place. One skill that I just cannot seem to completely master on the Georgia CRCT is Information and Media Literacy. This site has this covered, with lots of resources to combat research and information. Although some of the links were no longer available, most were. I also like the worksheets already pre-made to accompany each lesson.
The website flowed fairly easy, although content was not easily displayed. I had to click on every single word to find things. I reviewed the subject matter and I was surprised to see the main subjects. I was expecting the site to contain all technology based items. One thing that was cumbersome for me was the category "Global Awareness". It specifically listed Asia, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. These were clearly represented, and I am curious why these each get their own categories in a "Global World".
As a contemporary educator, I realize that I need to be more mindset focused on technology lessons and creative ways to give my students the opportunity to use and understand technology.
