21st century skills in 13 words : Jamie McKenzie

From Jamie McKenzie's website From Now On http://fno.org :

21st Century Skills Bookmark: A Dozen I-words Trump the 4 Rs

During the previous century, there was often talk of the 4Rs: Reading, wRiting, aRithmetic and Reasoning. It was a user friendly way to focus on the basics.
With all the talk now of 21st Century Skills, we need a model that is equally user friendly - just the right number of prime thinking competencies to fit on a handy bookmark or poster to remind all teachers and students about core values...
My bookmark offers thirteen competencies, all beginning with the letter "I" - a baker's dozen http://fno.org/Jan2010/bookmark.html
