Today is Friday and we have done one fourth of our workshop.  We did a reflection on what we like about this week.  We went over the schedule.  At about 9:30 Dr. Bracey talked about 21st century and ask us what does 21st century mean?  A website was given.  (p21.org)..We started the power point and we look at a graph about 21st century.  It is composed of:  Learning and innovation:  4`c:  Creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration.  Life and career skills, Information, media, and technology.  Core subjects and 21st century themes and support systems are etc.  The 21`st century is supported by many entries such as:  McGraw Hill, Lego, Crayola.....etc. 

I also learn about soft skills are skills such as behavior related and hard skills are work related.  Soft skills are hard to teach and assess while hard skills are easy to teach and assess. 

Open dialogue is to talk about the lesson.  One must have good ethics and work as a team.  We should also give citizenship or student of the week awards.

At 1:00 we had a crowdsouring for educators.  Two cites:  Donor choose and gofundme were two cites that can help teacher get money.  Donor choose you have to write a proposal and it uses a point system, and have a promo code.  The Gofundme is easily to get.  You do not have to write a proposal and it does not have a point system and the money goes to your bank account, but 5% goes to the people who oversee the money.
