21st-Century Fluencies

Here are links to the two presentations that we were to discuss this afternoon before unforeseen difficulties derailed us:

• Understanding the Digital Generation
• Literacy is Not Enough

I would very much like to hear your thoughts about these two perspectives, specifically as they pertain to the following discussion questions:

1. Are these fluencies sufficient for students to be successful in the world of the 21st century?  If not, what do you think has been omitted?
2. How well do you think our current curriculum and instruction prepares students in these fluencies?
3. If you had to pick just one, which one of the five fluencies do you think will be most important for students in the future?

I will add my thoughts to our discussion as well, but I'd like to hear yours first.  Please add your comments to this post.

(If your profile says your name is "Unknown", please maybe fix that, or at least identify yourself in your comment.)
