    • We have to have a discussion in our group to make sure we can define "21st century skills" so we are all on the same page. I would recommend looking at the national technology standards to get a clearer idea of what exactly these "skills" are. Providing evidence that we are not only teaching content, but skills kids must have to succeed in the world today will be essential to our program.
