Hello students!
This year we will be looking into things related to technology, computers, digital literacy, etc. As part of the technology unit, we will be conducting a project that goes by the title "21st century skills and their impementation in a modern society". Your task is to find all relevant information, decide what's important, and build a weebly site.

Comprehensive Project Outline
Developing students' 21st century skills.
This research and development project simulates real world experiences and responsibilities. Project-based learning, also known as challenge- or problem-based learning, allows these participants to develop relevant skills through technical writing, research, computer-assisted design, computer animation, digital audio/video, digital photography, and website development. Throughout the individual and group projects, students learn about emerging technologies, Internet-based services as they develop a team and assume positions in the team to complete a given challenge.
Project Elements
Students are required to develop a solution for the problem of implementing the knowledge about 21st century skills in our society. They make teams, research about all the necessary 21st century skills, develop teams and assume roles in them to propose solutions to the problems, create websites.
Challenge: 21st century skills and their implementation in a modern society
Research
Students brainstorm, investigate, and research ideas from a broad range of topics. Preliminary solutions are proposed, all research is properly cited, Internet domain names and team names are authenticated as original.
Develop
Students form teams and assume roles in those teams to propose a viable and innovative solution to the given challenge. Depending on the initial idea, development includes refining the solution, learning new technical skills, networking with teachers and fellow students and tackling the logistics of production and delivery.
Design
In conjunction with the development and completion of projects, student teams create websites. Depending on the given challenge, websites may contain animations, computer simulations, maps, timelines, information on philanthropy and social responsibility, and student-produced films. To market their solutions, students design print advertisements, film posters, electronic newsletters, and business cards, and utilize social media to create an online media campaign.
Multimedia
Depending on the project, online evaluation include multimedia materials, project description and research, student-produced films, and more.
Interactive Exhibition Space
Student teams present their projects to the public in our school using multi-media devices. They describe their work, demonstrate their creative solutions to the challenge, generate enthusiasm for their solutions, and cultivate a high degree of professionalism.
Presentation
Representatives from student teams prepare written presentations to justify and defend their research to the panel of fellow students and teachers. Students perform in front of an audience of their peers and the public as well. In addition, each team member is responsible for an individual explanation of the team project in their exhibition space.
