21st Century Connections Website Review

The 21st Century Connections is the latest resource for students, teachers and administrators. This link provides creative tools and benefits educational leaders with digital learning. Today's students need 21st century skills to thrive and survive in this digital world. This website equips students with opportunities to develop critical thinking skills, apply knowledge to new situations, analyze information, understand new ideas, communicate effectively, collaborate, solve problems and make decisions. This website is visually appealing with easy page to page movement and up to date information.
"If we want to move the useful adoption of technology forward, it is crucial for educators to learn to listen, to observe, to ask, and to try all the new methods their students have already figured out, and do so regularly" (Prensky,2008).
This website is an appropriate resource for educators who want to step into the 21st century way of teaching. Teachers must engage students in the 21st century way: electronically. 21st Century Connections provides relevant information needed for research. Teachers and students can learn more about how digital learning and one to one computing are making a difference.
The content of this website has current information, content that challenges reflection and discussion with additional resource links to techlearning.com, K-12 Computing Blueprint, and SchoolCIO.
I would recommend this website to other educators. Through this website you can obtain a variety of articles, columns and review on all facets of 21st Century learning. Educators will reap the benefits of learning about the latest ideas and activities for learning in this 21st Century.
