Promoting Students 21st Century Skills Through Project Work
"The world is changing rapidly and we continue to prepare our students
for the future with the
tools of the past. And though we all agree that education aims to prepare young
people to become
active citizens in a changing society (UNESCO 2011), our
schools are still evolving at a slow pace
that is modelled on a system moulded by industrial
revolution (Sir Ken Robinson, 2010). Our
students, citizens of the
information society, feel alienated at school. They are surrounded more
than ever by stimuli such as smartphones, tablets, computers, the Internet, etc.
that are either
shunned by their schools or - when allowed - they are not used
adequately. This partly explains the
high rates of school failure or lack of
motivation of students.
In order to meet these challenges, educators, and education science experts will need to
improve their methods so as to ensure that the learning experience meets the expectations of a
native digital student (Digital native, Digital Immigrant, M .Prensky, 2001) and develops his/her
skills in the 21st century..."

1-We Create Our Future
My project is about grandma stories in 2080. Each group has to bring a story told by their grandparents. They have to translate it. it means that they have to rewrite it in in English keeping the same ideas
2-The Reason why I'm Participating in this Project+What I'm Expecting to Learn
I choose to participate in this project because it was so attracting, also because I want to improve my skills in English and know more how to write in English.
I'm working on this project because I want to make new relationships with people from other countries ... I'm so excited to work with them. I think that this project will make me learn many good things such as how to collaborate and work in a group (despite that I'm working alone in the first step) how to write articles, narratives etc...
