Angela Maiers asked in a post “Is sitting still a 21^st Century skill?”

Good question – a host of stereotypes comes to mind.

Do I think 21^st century students should be sitting doing nothing but busy work – No

Do I think 21^st century students need to be able to concentrate for a period of time and do something on their own? Yes.

I also think the ability to unplug and simply be quiet is something necessary for all human souls.

Of course as I write this I’m typing listing to CNET’s Loaded podcast and making backups of our Math CD’s
