Feb. 18 reading assignment

Our next meeting will be Feb. 18 from 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. at Phelps Center for the Gifted, 934 S. Kimbrough.

We mentioned in the Jan. 14 webinar that there would be a reading assignment prior to that, and here it is. Please read "The Intellectual and Policy Foundations of the 21st Century Skills Framework." We'll discuss the article at the Feb. 18 meeting, so come with your questions and comments. Also, feel free to use your 21st Century skills to engage in a discussion of the article in the comments here.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the webinar. It sounds like it went well for most participants.

The questions submitted by participants are listed in this PDF file; answers were provided during last part of the presentation.

The archived webinar is available here. We experienced some trickiness getting the webinar file uploaded to the web, so please let us know if you experience problems with it from your end.

Here's a PDF version of the PowerPoint from last Thursday's webinar as well.
