Classroom Tech

Students make me laugh with their honesty. Check out this student’s great post on the Students 2.0 link under the Jan. 27 date of the syllabus. She deflates the 21st century skills push as just another gimmick. She challenges teachers to prove to her that it is important to the classroom. It appears 21st century skills is not a cure all for 21st century students. Students no matter what generation they are from are as cynical as the rest of us. 

Then after you read this look how the student opens up in the next link. Her writing skills and grammar are superior for a high schooler. As an English teacher, I can see how a blog will allow students to explore the skill and craft of writing.
