21st Century Learning: Transforming Education

Description

It is important that students understand the applicability of the skills they learn in school to the workplace, careers and the real world. This project integrates technology into the production of interviews with professionals in the field. These podcasts were created by teachers and collected in a collaborative environment to be shared locally and globally. The goals of these interviews/podcasts are to help students in Ohio schools: understand the relevance of their learning in academic courses to real world jobs/occupations (think about a specific objective or lesson with which students may struggle to understand or see the relevance), learn different ways that technology/ tools are used in 21st century work places, become aware of 21st century skills are necessary in the workplace, and be exposed to different career options. Each interview listed below is with a professional who integrates knowledge and skills addressed in the science standards with technology tools and 21st century skills to perform tasks and projects.
