How To Prepare Students For 21st Century Survival
===> As educators, we constantly strive to prepare our students for the ‘real world’ that exists around them. <===
We teach them how to read, write, and calculate. Then, of course, there are the less tangible skills we teach; such as how to work in a team, think critically, and be curious about the things they encounter each day.

Education is Supposed to Produce Independent Thinkers, Not Answering Machines.
The second in the series of letters to teachers from students. This time, a young man in Grade 12 talks about how we are missing the point of education by obsessing on marks and assessments.
Everything is geared toward tests. We do not learn about the subjects, we learn how to answer questions in exams with the spoon-fed knowledge that the teachers provide. Every single student is coerced into a rigid, marks-orientated syllabus in order to acquire the expected A's. Students' potentials are calculated with mere digits and their futures depend on pieces of paper with red ticks. This is not education. This is a subtle brainwashing process. A true education is supposed to produce independent thinkers, not answering machines.

Students today have unprecedented access to information. According to educator Karl Fisch, in one week of reading The New York Times, an individual will encounter more information than people in the 18th century would have had access to during the entire course of their lives.
It is not surprising that in this atmosphere, students appear to be growing increasingly dogmatic and are less able to engage in civil discourse with others with whom they disagree. Perhaps this is because they cannot accurately explain what people who oppose them actually believe. In truth, they often lack consistency in their own beliefs as well.

From Channel: QualiaSoup | December 24, 2009 A look at some of the principles of critical thinking.
This is an excellent short video that introduces critical thinking concepts and vocabulary with clear examples. Excellent foundation resource!
I see this as an important way to approach informational and expository writing themes. It fits with the Common Core Standards and provides an exceptionally strong answer to the age old question: "Why do we have to learn this?" Via Jenny Pesina

Scientists are notorious for questioning the veracity of publicized research — and with good reason. They want to know: Who conducted the research? Where was it published? What were the survey questions?]
It’s that much more important when it comes to evaluating research in education that will affect the investment decisions of teachers, parents, and administrators.

Discussion design and facilitation has an indispensable role in online education and is dependent on the development of carefully crafted questions. Student satisfaction has been found to be highly correlated with interactions in the classroom.
This is a three part series that will help any online practicioner to better understand the complexities of writing discussion prompts and facilitating threaded discussion. This is a university level research effort with a solid bibliography. Well worth reading! ~ Dennis
