=21st Century Learning Final Project-Carson=

__**Part I: Belief Statement**__
====One important skill that is necessary for the 21st Century Learner is to be a critical thinker and a problem solver. Being a critical thinker and problem solver will be the element that I will be focusing on for the coming year. Everyday we are faced with a variety of choices and we need to think about the long-term as well as the short-term impact of our decisions. As a result of this focus, students should be able to better develop questioning and reflection skills which will hopefully help them make better long term decisions.====

====With the goal of becoming a critical thinker and problem solver, there will be an impact on classroom routines and norms. We need to establish classroom routines and norms in order to create a learning environment where students will feel safe enough to express their opinions creating a positive culture. In creating a positive culture of shared responsibility for learning we must help students develop higher-level thinking, questioning and reflection skills. When a positive culture is established students will become empowered and take ownership of the learning process.====


 * Artifact 1: Google Sites**

This first artifact is the google site that I have created for the two classes that I am teaching this year. This will give the students a portal for them to be easily access all class materials. By creating the site I will allow the students to find materials for class, revisit a concept, or connect when absent from school.

Artifact 2: Google Survey

The second artifact is the Getting to Know You Survey. This survey will be used as an introduction for the students.
