Introduccion a las Habilidades del Siglo XXI El mundo es hoy muy distinto al que conocieron muchas de las generaciones que conviven en el planeta.

32 Characteristics Of High-Performing Classrooms 32 Characteristics Of High-Performing Classrooms: Spotting The Holes In Your Teaching by Terry Heick Instructional design is the strategic creation of learning experiences through intentional planning, sequencing, and data-based revision of learning.

Habilidades del Siglo XXI - Colaboracion Las transformaciones de las últimas décadas han cambiado el modo en que trabajamos y nos relacionamos. La globalización política y económica, la interdependencia, el desarrollo de las comunicaciones, la posibilidad de trabajar a distancia y otras complejidades conllevan tareas que deben resolverse de manera colaborativa, muchas veces en grupos interdisciplinarios e incluso interculturales. La capacidad colaborativa no sólo se reduce al ámbito personal. A distintos niveles, los proyectos requieren el compromiso de grupos heterogéneos que integren sus experticias de manera coherente y de la coordinación de múltiples instituciones o naciones por un resultado común y eficiente para todos. Pese a ello, la forma de trabajar y evaluar en los colegios sigue siendo mayormente individual.
