"21^st Century Skills Reconsidered: Technology as Master or Tool?"                                                        14.00. - Saturday, 5^th September 2009.

Despite the many calls for 21^st Century Skills, Dr. Reeves argues that educators and school leaders should be careful when evaluating technology in the classroom.  He will introduce an alternative list of 21^st Century skills and suggest practical ways for teachers and school leaders to model these skills. With new 2009 evidence, he will identify specific leadership and teaching practices that have the greatest impact for improving student results.
