21st Century Skills - - Core Media Literacy Skills -

This wiki has been created by a group of seven teachers living in Canada and Korea. When our professor welcomed our desire to work on our vision of the future as a group project, we were delighted. We decided to use a Voice Thread (http://voicethread.com/#u428241.b958496.i5548667) in order to give a voice to our thoughts. However, we didn't know how best to organize our thoughts or which set of future skills we should use. We met in an elluminate session and scrawled our thoughts on the whiteboard. It was only when one member recalled Henry Jenkins paper on 21st Century Skills and shared the eleven skills that the chatroom ignited. Everyone felt inspired to delve into one or more of the concepts. We decided to create a wiki as a storage container for our research. People can listen to the VoiceThread on each concept and then visit the wiki to dig into a concept on a deeper level. Take the time to listen to our reflections on this learning journey on the second last slide of the VoiceThread.

Watch the video below to hear directly from Henry Jenkins and some others about the eleven skills. (Actually, we found out yesterday that there are now twelve skills. One was added later--the skill of visualization.)
