I’m finding that the hallmark of 21st Century learning is a move away from the traditional, 19th and 20th century focus on the three R’s (Reading<\/strong>, wRiting<\/strong>, aRithmetic<\/strong>) and a move to the C’s. I say the C’s because when I first read about the 21st Century C’s there were three, Connect<\/strong>, Collaborate<\/strong>, Create<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Now I see another C added that I do agree is quite essential for 21st Century learning, Critical<\/strong> Thinking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So now we have the six C’s of 21st Century Learning, Connect<\/strong>, Communicate<\/strong>, Collaborate<\/strong>, Curate<\/strong>, Create<\/strong>, using Critical Thinking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
