A: I want to introduce you to the digital representation of a sticky wall - a drag-and-drop interface - Padlet: http://padlet.com/ (in case you didn't know about it).
It is available in Chrome browser. If you consider using more interactive tools with your students online it is a good addition to a blog. It gives your students more control on building a group website.

Q: What Should Students Learn in the 21st Century?
A: I just heard Charles Fadel's talk at the Learning &the brain conference. You'll find an answer here: https://vimeo.com/50409698
Charles Fadel shares his findings from across many disciplines and groups about what students should learn in order to be prepared for the 21st century. He discusses the exponential growth of technological capabilities, the continued automation of traditional tasks and professions as well as the impact of technological innovation. Looking at the race between technology and education, he urges teachers to consider how best to provide students with higher order skills in order to prepare them for success in the communities and workplaces they will participate in.
