Schools focus much of
their instructional time on reading and mathematics.
However, research shows that students are currently
having difficulty applying the skills acquired in
these subjects to real-world experiences.
21st century
activities are the catalyst that drives deeper
thought and provides opportunities for students to
creatively implement skills and communicate their
learning.
These activities are
designed to offer a platform that promotes the
integration of disciplines. Students are given
high-quality tasks which allow them the freedom to
make connections. By engaging students in
interdisciplinary activities, relevance in the
learning is evident and motivation increases.
