The 21st century skills

To prepare students for their future lives and careers, they need to wrestle with real life problems that are engaging and relevant.

The 21st century skills are creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and communication.

However, the way in which these skills are incorporated in the classroom and how technology is integrated will greatly change instruction. Indeed, with technology, today’s classroom transcends physical walls and reaches around the globe.

need or desire , affective (emotional ) component". Practical work is possible in the process of almost all human

activities. Subjects of practical work can be found everywhere , even in classroom at school .
