EDTC 6340 Project 3 Rosemary Roberts University of Texas at Brownsville Educational

For the first time in history, educators are preparing students for careers that do not yet exist.

Careers that require 21 st century skills

21 st Century Skills  Think Globally  Work together  Work independently  Think of others first  Research, Evaluate, Create  Communicate Effectively  Set Goals

Do these skills sound new to you? They’re Not!

Jesus said the very same things in the 1 st century.

”Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. “ Mark 16:15 (American Standard Version) Think Globally Communicate Effectively

The Disciples practiced it.

All the believers were united in heart and mind. And they felt that what they owned was not their own, so they shared everything they had. Acts 4:32 (New Living Translation) Work together Think of others

The skills are not new. The tools for completing the job are new.

Digital technology allows us to reach the world instantly

Our students are comfortable with this technology because they have grown up with it.

Educators are sometimes uncomfortable with it because it is foreign to them.

Digital Divide Digital Immigrants Digital natives VS

Digital Immigrants Are you a “Digital Immigrant”? When you were young…

Did your game system look like this?

Did your music come from this?

Did your college papers come from this?

Did research look like this?

Does your classroom look like this?

If so you are a “digital immigrant”. Painfully slow to watch, wasn’t it?

That’s how digital natives feel in your classroom.

That’s why the natives are restless.

Digital Immigrant Ideas  Do it right the first time  A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush  Save for a rainy day  Work first; play later  Work Quietly  Work Independently
