Group Spotlight: 21st Century Skills |

One of the greatest advantages to social networking is joining Groups of like-minded peers to collaborate virtually. TeachAde has close to 400 Groups, most of which are open to anyone to join.  The 21st Century Skills Group, for example, explores the question: Should schools be actively teaching 21st century skills, or should they stick to a core curriculum?
