A beautiful listing of 21st Century Skills

Ruth Reynard really breaks it down in this good 'overview' article over at THE Journal. I especially enjoyed how she lays out 21st Century Skills in great detail (aka the Skills employeers are looking for). Web 2.0 Tools and K-12 Challenges

Most teachers are also aware that their students already posses technology skills that they do not possess but remain unclear as to how those skills can be integrated into their specific instructional discipline. While the larger issues of funding and teacher resourcing will continue to be very real challenges we must face, I would suggest that teachers should focus not so much on the technology skills their students already possess, but on the transferable life skills that these technology tools can develop in students when handled well by teachers within instructional contexts.

Could be very useful for anyone trying to map out funding priorities - and how technology will fit in.
