Good Morning Developers!
I came across an interesting article this week titled "Seven skills students desperately need"
http://www.eschoolnews.com/news/top-news/index.cfm?i=56127The seven skills mentioned in the article are:
- Problem-solving and critical thinking
- Collaboration across networks and leading by influence
- Agility and adaptability
- Initiative and entrepreneurship
- Effective written and oral communication;
- Accessing and analyzing information
- Curiosity and imagination.
As you read through the article and read through the list, think about how you are incorporating the learning of these skills in your online class. It is easy to "teach to the test" and tell students to answer end of chapter questions and answer multiple choice quiz questions when the answers are in the book. But it is a bit more challenging to teach students how to analyze information and generate curiosity and imagination. I know that all of you are up to the challenge! It is not only our job to teach our students the textbook information, but we need to be teaching them how to be successful in the workforce. If you are interested in bouncing ideas off of me I would be more than happy to discuss these with you!
As a reminder, for most of you the 25% completion deadline is on Monday. If you have questions about this or any concerns about reaching this deadline please let me know ASAP.
Have a great Thanksgiving week!
Amy
