**Teaching with 21st Century Tools**
//__Establishing A Culture for Learning__: //

Develop Curriculum Mapping skills and use tools to become a 21st Century Educational Leader. Enhance Curriculum Maps to improve teaching and learning in your classroom by creating and sharing best mapping practices in your school building. Teachers will create a Curriculum Map aligned with Common Core Standards, The Partnership for 21st Century Skills and the Teacher Competencies.


 * __Objective:__** Who am I on the web, and what does my classroom look like on the web? Participants will reflect on their own current classroom strategies to enhance teaching and learning in your classroom by creating and sharing a best practice map in your school building


 * Common Core Standards:**
 * W.4.6**. With some guidance and support from adults, use technology, including the internet, to produce and publish writing as well as to interact and collaborate with others; demonstrate sufficient command of keyboarding skills to type a minimum of one page in a single sitting.
 * SL.11-12.2.** Integrate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media (e.g. visually, quantitatively, orally) in order to make informed decisions and solve problems evaluating the credibility and accuracy of each source

Learning and innovation skills increasingly are being recognized as the skills that separate students who are prepared for increasingly complex life and work environments in the 21st century, and those who are not. A focus on creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration is essential to prepare students for the future.

 * **9:50- 10:00 Coffee Break** -- peruse the Curriculum 21 Clearinghouse of Web 2.0 tools. Curriculum 21 is the outgrowth of the work of a dynamic group of educators worldwide attempting to help colleagues transform curriculum and school designs to match the needs of 21st century learners. The impetus originated from the Curriculum Mapping work developed by Dr. Heidi Hayes Jacobs. As we examined maps emerging across the United States and overseas it was evident that curriculum and instruction remains dated although both students and teachers recognize the need to become current and forward thinking in our planning. Concrete and practical models for updating your school programs appear in her upcoming book, [|//**Curriculum 21: Essential Education for a Changing World, (ASCD)**//,] which was released in January, 2010.
