Born in the 21st Century
Today's 5th graders were born in the year 2000.
No current elementary student ever saw the 20th century.
Video games, laptops, MP3 players, cell phones, online gaming, and social networking are, and always have been, a part of everyday life for them.
We need to prepare them to think on their own...
….to survive in their own century. Becoming a 21st Century Teacher

Students will examine political processes, governmental institutions, and human behavior in a civil society (how our government works and what each person’s role is).
Financial Literacy:
Students will understand the basics of money management and use financial resources appropriately to function well in society at a personal, professional, business and community level, thus enabling them to succeed in a complex global environment. Employability and Health
Employability
Students will have the academic and social skills as well as the personal characteristics that empower them to be productive, caring, and competent citizens. (good citizens make good employees) - Work in teams, communicate, solve problems - Be flexible and adaptive to changes - Work toward high quality products
Health
Students will have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions that will lead them to take responsibility for their personal health status. Technology Literacy and Constructs
Students will be empowered with the technological knowledge and skills to learn effectively and live productively as global citizens, capable of self-directed learning in preparation for an ever-changing world.
Universal Constructs
- Critical thinking/Problem solving - Complex Communication - Collaboration - Creativity - Flexibility and Adaptability - Productivity and Accountability How do I do this?
Networked individualism
Identifying 21st CS:
- What am I already doing? - What gaps exist?
Unlearn and relearn
Getting from,
"Why would I want my students to do that?" to… …"How can I get my students to do that?" Mathematical Practices, Common Core
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
Model with mathematics.
Use appropriate tools strategically.
Attend to precision.
Look for and make use of structure.
Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
Quantitative Literacy Defined
The quantitative reasoning habits students need to learn are primarilysimple and non-technical.
Be able to think and reason quantitatively when the situation so demands.
Requires reasoning based on mathematical properties and relations.
Having the capacity to engage others in working together to think critically, reason analytically and to solve a problem.
To educate citizens to attend to numbers, to understand them, and to think thoughtfully and critically about them.

What Iowa Core standards?
- Math - Science - Literacy - Employability - Technology Literacy Does it work?
Yes, it works.
Yes, it works.
Analyze, Evaluate, Create
Analyze the problem solving plans in the videos.
Evaluate the quality of the plans and the decide if they provide evidence that can be used to support a solid conclusion.
Create a plan the improves upon the ones you have seen. Explain why your plan is an improvement.
-Your idea should be repeatable so you could use your plan to convince others your conclusion is correct and worthy of a YouTube video that can be seen on computers around the globe.
No, it doesn’t work.
No, it doesn’t work.
Assessment
What do you think now? Does your plan need adjustment?
How well did you solve the problem?
- (Problem Solving Assessment Reference Sheet)
How well did your group work together?
- (Employability Rubric)
If it really doesn’t work, did the people who posted the first two videos have the right to do so? With rights come responsibilities. What is their responsibility in this instance?
