 * **Create a page on your wiki for your content area**--call it 21st Century Your Curricular Area (ie...math, English, science, music, etc.)
 * **From the provided 21st Century Map--select four of the 21st Century Skills** for special emphasis (you pick the four)
 * **Include the following for each of the four areas selected:**
 * 1. The 21st Century Skill that is addressed
 * 2. The student outcome of the lesson/activity/idea
 * 3. Grade level for the activity
 * 4. Sample activity that will fit in your existing curriculum. This activity can be something that you already do or something that you plan to do. At least two of the four activities that you describe must include technology in some way. It may or may not include some of the tools that we have talked about or used in class such as Skype, Google Docs, Bit Strips, Word Sift, Wall Wisher, YouTube Quick Capture, other web 2.0 tools you have discovered, etc. A short description similar to the ones included on the 21st Century Skills Map is adequate.
