4Cs: Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking and Creativity

The "4Cs: Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking and Creativity" are the touchstones of learning. This past week in class, we viewed a short animated video together entitled, "Above and Beyond," by fablevision. The video was well received by our students. It fit right into the discussions and practice we have been sharing concerning the value of the "4Cs." Above and Beyond was originally posted on the Partnership for 21st Century Skills site. I saw it again tonight on the  elearning blog "Don't Waste Your Time" and thought it would be worth sharing directly on our blog. "Above and Beyond" promotes the creative potential and value of working with people who have different perspectives. The principles embodied by the "4Cs" have the real power to help us optimize our learning potential. Click here to check out "Above and Beyond."
