What you need before you can engage in 21st Century Skills?

Students' futures...
Creating students that can be successful in their future is not simply a matter of "point and click" methodology. Students need to understand that their ability to collaborate and create in a digital environment is as much a responsibility, as it is a skill. We, teachers, must engage our students in conversation and critical thinking concerning the use of technology.
Daniel Pink said, "We are preparing students for their future not are past."...are you?
