Skills students need to succeed class 02/03/11

Today in class we watched a video on what students today need to succeed. the first one is, all students need critical thinking and problem solving skills. This one is very important because today we are just taught to memrize answers and not actually learn the reasons why we do things and think for our selves. another skill that was discussed was that we need to be effective and oral communicators. With todays technology we are groing less and less able to communicate verbally. In school we mostly learn how to write and not taught how to verbally commmunicate, even though in working world most job require verbally communication over writing. another big one that was mentioned was we need to be curious and imaginative. Students need not only to know the answers they also need to be able to create their own ideas to grow in their carriers.
