Activity for 22-23 April 2013: 21st Century Learning Design

The purpose of the 21st Century Learning Design rubrics is to help educators identify and understand the opportunities that learning activities give students to build 21st century skills. A learning activity is any task that students do as part of their school-related work. It can be an exercise that students complete in one class period, or an extended project that takes place both in and outside of school.

Using the 6 rubrics on the resource document provided, score your authentic learning activity from last week in the table below:

Important Skill Score yourself herecollaboration 1

I should have integrated collaboration whereas I did not think of grouped work or a discussion based on my topic thou if I did it could have

broadened the learners understanding of the specified topic.

knowledge construction 5Based on knowledge construction by giving the learners the opportunity to research based on

the topic would lead them to become exposed of new information which is not restricted to what

they have been taught already instead come across new ideas as well

self-regulation 4By implementing the task in one of my questions

the outcome of how they answer the question was not restricted to be answered in a particular

manner but rather in manner that best suited them.

real-world problem-solving and innovation 4The topic that I have chosen gave the learner the

opportunity to relate the topic to a real-world problem that they could have come across.

the use of ICT for learning 1I could have broaden the perspective and

allowed the learners to make use of various innovative communication tools which would

have made the topic more effective in terms of gaining knowledge as well as enjoyment.

skilled communication 4I am now aware that I could have given the

learner the opportunity to make the task more audience based in terms of language and communication as well as multi-modal.
