 * === If you roll doubles you must input twice. ===
 * 1) === The number on the first die is your position in the discussion line. 1 being the highest and 6 being the lowest. ===
 * 2) === The number on the second die is the relative priority of your input. 1 being the highest and 6 being the lowest. ===
 * === An input is an explanation, observation, or link to further information that is relevant to the subject indicated in the Clue. ===
 * === High priority input = worthy of immediate and serious consideration. ===
 * === Low priority input = interesting and helpful, but not necessarily critical. ===
 * ==__ Each input on the page may be no more than **140 characters.** __==
 * === After everyone has given input, additional comments may be added. The 140 rule applies for these as well. ===
 * === The individual with the lowest priority on input writes a one paragraph summary of the educational/teaching implications of all the observations and research. This responsibility will rotate among the class members, e.g. If you write it on clue 1, you are not eligible again until everyone has a turn. ===

====//NOTE: Project 21 is a bit outside the box. A question came up as to whether you should respond to the clue with research or with your own thoughts. The answer is YES! As you take a look at the first clue, remember that a picture is worth a thousand words. What does that picture represent in regard to everything you've done so far - in this class and outside of this class? Synthesize your work, and, where appropriate, reference videos, articles, or readings. Have fun with it!//====

--- = Clue # 1 - What does it tell you about the 21c Learner? = Roll the dice using this link :

Put the numbers you rolled next to your name. The first number determines the order of the discussion, the second the relative priority of your input. Everyone must comment by Sunday at the latest in order to give time to others. Comments need not be sequential. The goal is to accumulate information. The person with the lowest 2nd number will summarize the educational or teaching implications of the information. In this instance it is Brad. = Click on Edit to change the text below, type, then click on save. =

Put the numbers on your dice next to your name below:
Brad 3,1 Dawn 3,5 Flora 4, 2 Lynda 5,3 Rebecca 5, 6 Tara 6, 2

= __**Input Below:**__ = __**(An input consists of observations, information, & research) Put your initials in front of your Input**__ LL:The 21st century does not accept what "is" instead they accept what is possible. The picture is that of a Kobe Bryant Nike customized on NikeId. This is a web based, and studio option where you can design your own Nike. This tells me that the 21st century learner wants to interact and develop by using interactive websites(Web 2.0). They don't want to settle for what is available to purchase from a site,instead they want to create. They are individuals, and want to be unique.

DM: Flashy, bold, and bright like our students. Digital natives are on a fast pace to learning. They are so computer savvy that one has even customized sneakers! We may be the ones needing to run to catch up with these fast learners. Being a digital immigrant means we cannot truly understand their languages and each day is a race to try to catch up, not only to our students, but also to rapidly evolving technology.

FV: The 21st Century learners are dynamic and creative, resourceful and innovative. They thrive on originality – therefore, no two pairs of sneakers should be alike! They can pull up a website, order and design their own sneakers in a variety of styles and colors and design, as is evident by the example. They are tech savvy – no need to settle for what stores are offering. In this age, students are apparently particular in their individual styles.

TS: The 21st century learner will always go above and beyond. They will not just settle for ordinary. They are ever changing and thrive when asked to create, collaborate, and explore. They communicated with Nike in order to come up with the most unique design of the shoe. The bright colors represent them in many ways. Things aren't black and white for them, as most sneaker colors are. The colors they chose show that enjoy a challenge and taking a risk.

BS: The 21st century learner has found a way to take advantage of both the unique/custom while still enjoying the status of a commercial brand.

RW: Just looking at the bottom of the shoe, I notice the different textures. The textures represent diversity and I am sure the different textures all add some benefit to the user. Although this shoe is very flashy and current, it is still a shoe and has been around for ~40,000 years. All shoes are intended for us to walk on. The 21st century learner is still a learner like those before them, but very different.

Input:
Summary of Educational Implications: BS I believe that there are a few things that we learned from our first clue. I think the most important, and most discussed issue brought up by our class is the need to customize to the 21st century learner. The 21st century learner has become used to things customized to them in every aspect of their life. This allows them to express creativity and become the type of person they want to be. As an educator it is important to not only know that customization is necessary, but to understand how this helps them as both students and as people.

DN - About this clue: The 21st century learner is a prosumer, a consumer who customizes the products and experiences in his/her life. This customizable sneaker is just one example of prosumerism. This generation customizes its entertainment, clothing, music, food, etc. What this means for education: our students expect to "have it their way" - we need to offer learning experiences that are flexible, personizable, modular, and more. The era of one-size-fits-all is over. The keywords are prosumer and customization. Score: (This is completed by the Instructor)
