21st Century Skills/ Tony Wagner

Wagner talked about seven survival skills for a new economy. The 7 skills are: critical thinking/problem solving, collaboration/leading by influence, agility and adaptability, initiative and entrepreneurialism, effective oral and written communication, accessing and analyzing information, curiosity and imagination. The video does a good job explaining these to us. The interviews and information kind of made me open up my eyes to what we need to do to get our children going. I notice that these skills all incude activity in some way. I think teachers around the nation should listen to Wagner and help him fill the gap.
