A message from Angie Stitzel: As you are probably already aware, Ohio became the 14th state to enter the //Partnership for 21st Century Skills// ([|http://www.21stcenturyskills.org]), a national organization which advocates 21st century readiness for all students. As a compliment to this movement, INFOhio created the //21st Century Learning Commons// ([|http://learningcommons.infohio.org]) to help teachers "understand how learning has changed, adapt teaching methods and discover new ways to inspire students to think critically, solve problems, collaborate, innovate and create." The //21st Century Learning Commons// provides teachers with the opportunity for professional development in a self-paced online learning community of fellow educators. Teachers can work through "21 Essential Things for 21st Century Success" and earn credit in one of five ways:

INFOhio has given you these options to allow you to use the program to meet the needs of your staff. Some suggestions for implementing the program include Working through the 21 things together at staff meetings or early dismissal time.
 * **Option 1**: No cost/no CEU—Take modules for your own learning
 * **Option 2**: No cost/earn CEUs—Work with your local LPDC to arrange for profession development credit. View this outline ([]of course learning objectives.
 * **Option 3:** Cost/earn CEUs—Earn CEU certificates per module through NWOET.
 * **Option 4:** Cost/earn 21st Century Skills Certificate—45-hour certificate with specialization in Media and Information Resources (must complete at least 18 modules)
 * **Option 5:** Cost/earn college credit—earn 1 semester credit from your choice of Bowling Green State University, Ashland University, or Muskingum College;
 * Offer weekly technology sessions where one of the 21 things becomes the topic of the week
 * Offer the sessions during an in-service day
 * Offer summer workshops

Some of the topics covered in the "21 Essential Things" include RSS feeds, internet safety and social networking, eBooks, using primary sources, resources for STEM, Web 2.0 tools, as well as strategies for using the INFOhio electronic resources that you may not have realized were available!

I would love to share with your group at your next meeting! Let me know if this would be a possibility.
