Partnership for 21st Century Learning....

When I first looked at the website, http://www.21stcenturyskills.org, I was a bit overwhelmed. It seemed as though there was a lot of information and it all jumped out in your face. Once I started to navigate through it though, it seemed to be more user friendly!!
The information on the site that surprised me was the members that belonged and contributed to the site. One member that I found to be very interesting was, Cable in the Classroom! After I went through and looked at all of the members, I went to the Cable in the Classroom website and looked around it for a while. I put in my zip code to see if it was available in my area where my school was. Once I put my school name in, a cable company popped up, I clicked on it and the name of a representative came up to call. I immediately cut and pasted the link and emailed it to myself!! I am definitely going to look into this. The website, http://www.ciconline.org/home, was very interesting and gave some great information. The service is free and "Once connected, educators can start using an array of more than 500 hours per month of commercial-free, copyright-cleared educational video programs and thousands of pages of related online materials, produced by cable networks, and all free of charge!" www. ciconline.org
I did not find any flaws to this website. I was actually really impressed with it and plan to use it more often now that I know it is a resource! The implications for myself and my students are that if I use this website as a resource, I can find new and great things linked to the 21st century to share with my students to make them life long learners!
