The Partnership for 21st Century Skills has identified four key learning skills needed by  students in the 21st Century.  These skills known as the 4 C’s are: CreativityCritical ThinkingCommunicationand Collaboration. The Partnership for 21st Century Skills has developed a Framework for 21st Century Learning which states:

Learning and innovation skills increasingly are being recognized as the skills that separate students who are prepared for increasingly complex life and work environments in the 21st century, and those who are not. A focus on creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration is essential to prepare students for the future.

Over the next few weeks, #BYOTchat will discuss the role that BYOT plays in the development of the 4 C’s.  This week, #BYOTchat will discuss the impact that BYOT has in development of collaborative skills.  Please join us to share and discuss your thoughts, views, and resources.
