 * Your three words for 21st Century Skills**

21st Century skills to me is the ability to use and understand technology not only inside the classroom but in your everyday life. These skills cover every thing that a person will need to be successful in this century. the major subjects of these skills are: learning and innovation skills, information, media and technology skills, and life and career skills. A big skill for me is life and career skills. This is the 21st century skill that I preach in my classroom. Many of my students are not going to college and going straight into the work field. These skills are some of the major characteristics that a person needs to have in the work place to be successful. I tell my students they need to be able to self-direct and be flexible in their job. The most important career skill I tell them is to be accountable and responsibility unlike a school employers do not give their workers a second chance they just let them go. If my students can be responsible and accountable they should be able to provide for their families in the future.
