Final Comments
My greatest success in this course was using the tools provided and bringing them to life in the classroom. I feel like my teaching has improved and my students have benefited. The biggest challenge was leaning manipulation of the tools to provide a product. It all just takes time and patience. I improved on providing assessment for the tasks using 21st century skills for my students. I will continue to try to implement all of the tools as much as possible into my instruction and make my lessons more engaging and enjoyable. This course has changed my teaching practices and given me the knowledge and confidence to push forward.
The Future...
Well it seems as the push for a national core curriculum is on the horizon, there will be many changes throughout, including an infusion of technology standards and assessments that will be an important part of instruction. This should be interesting!

Rubrics
Hello everyone! It's snowing in Maryland! In my quest to find rubrics, I came across two useful sites. It appears that in the near future, we will be crating our own for assessing 21st century skills.

Reflection
I ran across many interesting blogs in my research. The ones centered around 21st century literacy all had the same underlying principles but they all agreed that educators must teach in a fashion that uses up to date lessons that incorporate current technology.
