21st Century Storyboarding

Silvia Tolisano, a 21st Century Learning Specialist at Martin J. Gottlieb Day School does an incredible job of coaching and mentoring many in what it means to ensure students are living and learning in the 21st century. In recent conversations among Silvia, Mike Fisher, and myself, we have been discussing the need for teachers to learn strategies and skills that ensure their students move beyond technology automating to informating (see #5 in the linked Alan November article), and as Silvia necessitates, and Mike and I concur -- Technology/Web-based amplifying --- collaborating and communicating receptively around the globe.

One of Silvia's recent blog posts, she shares her thoughts related to students as 21st century collaborative learners, participants, and writers.
