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...
