==Description ==

In this workshop participants will gain an understanding of the concepts outlined by the Partnership for 21st century skills. They will examine current instructional practices and analyze they changes they need to make as they adopt the 21st century skills framework to design a challenge based learning experience to impact and transform current curriculum and assessment practices.

==Learning Outcomes ==

> • Understand the concepts outlined in the 21st century skills framework > • Identify instructional practices that promote the outcomes outlined in the 21st century skills framework > • Gain new perspectives of education in the 21st century as they collaborate and communicate with other educators > • Experiment with and gain experience in the use of digital tools for the creation of student products • Analyze and apply current educational research and best practices in education to design a Challenge Based Learning (CBL) experience that incorporates new technologies and multimedia into the curriculum **Day One, Welcome!
