The 21st Century Skills I used in these assignments were Thinking & Problem Solving and Self-Directional Skills. I believe that I used these skills most because most times we would be doing the labs ourselves. When doing the lab, we were often challenged to find answers ourselves and it was hard. I had to think and solve and make up my own decision to what I believed the answer would be to each question.

The Gizmos Virtual Chemistry Labs were originally for fun. These virtual labs gave us an opportunity to see what it would be like to be doing and actual experiment in a laboratory. Sometimes when we were in the classroom we were allowed to be in a group which was also fun because we could solve them together. Thinking and Problem Solving Students will demonstrate thinking and problem solving in all curricular areas through projects, application of the scientific method, higher order math skills, and literary analysis. Self-Directional Skills Students will demonstrate their ability to understand and monitor their own learning needs and to goal-set. They will complete a portfolio and present it as part of their exit interview with a graduation committee. Students will also demonstrate career readiness, and will connect to the world of work through career explorations and internships. |
