Learning how to learn. Now how to use these new tools, like blogging.
 
The children need to know what they need to know, they need to be able to know which skills they have learned and what do they still need to learn.
 
Learning environment should be in and out the school.
 
Strategies that make the difference.
Engagement, Hands-on, Adult connection, Internships, Real World immersion.
 
The children need to be involved in projects. Kids need to learn about a theme, then they need to investigate and learn by themselves and do a final product and present to their class and other classes. Spend more time on Projects than on regular classes just listening a teacher.
 
This is a cool school that is preparing children for the 21st Century.
