Partnership for 21st Century Skills

This is a very interesting website. I like the fact that this group is starting to partner with various states already, which was surprising to me, to help students with the new skills that they will need. When I first logged on to this website i noticed all the articles on the right hand side that talked directly about what was going on politically in some areas with education and I thought to myself, "Why in the world do I want to get into all of this?" But, as I started poking around and found out exactly what this group was up to, I thought it was great. I also liked seeing everyone that was involved with the Professional Development assistance, names that we all know - Apple, Blackboard, NEA, Verizon, just to name a few. I really liked looking through the MILE guide. We have something similar that we recently adopted for our new curriculum, which is heavily technology driven. If people are looking for more ideas they should definitely check this site out.
