Reflection 1: 21st Century Learning

 * There are many 21st Century Skills that are critical to the learning process. After you have taken time to read through one or more of the external links about these Learning Skills (found on class wiki) write a reflection. Consider the impact these skills could have/do have on your teaching and on your students' experiences in the classroom. What issues were addressed in the article(s)? What is one thing you could do in your classroom, that is not being done yet, to help incorporate one of these skills?
 * Your reflection needs to be at least 10-15 sentences long. Please include the title of each article you read and are referencing.
 * This reflection is due by the Saturday **//after//** our first weekend's class.

Reflection 2: Videos for the Classroom

 * After you have found a video to use in the classroom, post the link to the video on the Moodle in the reflection section. Then, write at least a 5 sentence reflection as to how you will use this video in the classroom and what impact you think it will have on your students' learning.
 * Please find a video that is new to you and your classroom.
 * In addition to sites such as YouTube and TeacherTube there is a free online educational video service available to Wisconsin residents on the state's online library, Badgerlink. It provides streaming and downloadable video programs for K-12 students and teachers. See links below:
