"ZOOM ALONG ‘ROUTE 21’ FOR TOOLS TO IMPLEMENT 21ST CENTURY SKILLS"

"Everyone has grown accustomed to business leaders and other stakeholders clamoring for increased attention paid to 21st century skills (global literacy, problem solving, innovation and creativity), as they have become stock skills in an increasingly interconnected global workforce. The Partnership for 21st Century Skills has tried to satiate these calls by launching "Route 21," the first ever online conglomeration of 21st century skills-related tools and resources. The website provides information on standards, assessments, curriculum and instruction and opportunities for professional development. Route 21 also allows users to mark, organize, collect and share content based on their personal/professional needs. The site is intended to be a living entity by being continuously updated and providing an online forum where users can share their experiences on implementing 21st century skills. It’s not quite the Jetsons or hover cars, but it does serve as a great tool for educators."
