Partnership for 21st Century Skills

http://www.21stcenturyskills.org/ This site has been listed on the American Association of School Librarians' top 25 educational websites list, and I can understand why. There are articles including implications and strategies for cross-curricula education including technology as well as links for state initiatives, events, resources and frameworks. I enjoyed visiting the links under "professional development affiliates" especially the blackboard.com site. I am planning on spending a couple of hours reading through the sites and writing the appropriate letters to request resources. I like the idea of including life and career skills into the framework and could not find anything that I disagreed with in the 21st century overview. My students will benefit from what this organization is doing through enhancing professional development opportunities and emphasizing technology in instruction as well as including the states in the program.
