Nine Principles

I liked this article as it talked about how principles should be used with 21st century learning implementation not prescriptive plans/guidelines because of the fluid nature of this movement.

She makes a good point about humans still being at the certain of the movement and not technology.  I think that not only administrators of school districts, but leaders state wide and nationally.  Hopefully, policy leaders behind 21st century learning will go the new administration(hopefully Obama) and try to show them that this and that NCLB guarantee a prosperous American future.  Personal investment in the process is also important so when there are glitches/mistakes belief in 'why' we are doing this will keep up going.  In the words of Ms. Frizzle from the Magic School bus, "we need to take chances, make mistakes, and get messy" when it comes to 21st century learning because that's the real world is like.
