40 Technologies for the Classroom This was my presentation delivered at the Computers in Education Society of Ireland (CESI) annual conference on February 23rd, 2013. As the society was celebrating its 40th birthday, I decided to share 40 different technologies that can be used in the classroom. The presentation is a mixture of recommendations of websites, apps and technologies. It was difficult deciding which technologies to include and which to exclude. If you feel I have some glaring omissions, post a comment below. Tagged as: CESI, iPad Apps, iPod Apps, Resources Websites, Technology

Digital Teaching Skills Introduction and rationale What follows is a draft / attempt at digesting and synthesizing all the calls for “21st Century” teaching skills into one list – a list that reflects the best practice of “Web-enhanced” educators. These people use technology as a means to promote intrinsic motivation and a disposition toward critical thinking, they are not obsessed with “teaching” the how-to’s of software applications. My goal in developing this checklist is to outline a continuum of skills for all teachers. In other words, level 1 is where all teachers can and should be. The checklist is not definitive – on the contrary, I attempted to identify “the least someone needs to know” in order to enjoy success at integrating technology. So… Could you please, either send me an email, forward a comment or have at this page with Diigo.

A Comprehensive Checklist of The 21st Century Learning and Work Skills July 16, 2014 While searching for some resources on a paper and writing on the 21st century learning skills I came across this skills checklist created by the university of UToledo. This checklist is meant to help students build powerful resumes outlining all the skills they master. I spent some time going through the components of this sheet and found it really sharing with you here. You can use this sheet with your students as an explanatory guide of some of the important skills ( I said some because some other important skills particularly those related to digital citizenship and digital literacy are missing) they need to work. Below is a round-up of the 9 most important skills which I selected from the entire list. 1- Research skills

Sweet Search The 8 Must Have Skills for The 21st Century Students June 23, 2014 Here is a wonderful little visual I came across through Edudemic which outlines the 8 skills students need in order to live up to the expectations of the future job market. These skills which are highlighted in the recent report "The Learning Curve" by Pearson are a big departure from the conventional literacy skills : Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic.That being said, the report also underscored the fact that for kids (in developing countries) to get a grasp of the 21st century skills, they need to first master the basic literacy skills. Developing countries must teach basic skills more effectively before they start to consider the wider skills agenda. There is little point in investing in pedagogies and technologies to foster 21st century skills, when the basics of numeracy and literacy aren't in place. Here is the 8 needed skills for the future:LeadershipDigital LiteracyCommunicationEmotional IntelligenceEntrepreneurshipGlobal CitizenshipProblem SolvingTeam-Working
