Purpose

Our learners are changing with each generation. Research suggests, educators should include the “4Cs of 21st Century Learning” into the classroom. The 4Cs are creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication, and they are necessary skills for students of this generation. This workshop will provide you with an opportunity to compare generational trends, discuss ideas about the 4Cs, and discover ways to incorporate the 4Cs into essential questions and lectures.
