The Resiliency Thought Bubbles project provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate their knowledge of Microsoft Word. The assignment requires students to use critical thinking and creativity in writing their own original idea that demonstrates both Fixed Mindset and Resiliency. Students were shown a series of videos that demonstrate the meaning of Resiliency then challenged to use critical thinking when they wrote their own examples. Finally, I selected one student example from each of my six PAA Multimedia classes and created a bulletin board display; the display includes a Brain illustration that was a collaborative and creative endeavor between a grade ten student and a grade twelve student.

Rube Goldberg machines are a fun and innovative way to integrate 21st century skills into your math, science, STEM or design learning class. Rube Goldberg machines involve using a series of complex steps to do a simple task. Students first begin reflecting on what 21st century skills they will need to pull this activity off. Then they must make an effective plan as a group before they are able to gather their materials and build. The plan can (and likely should!) change as they work and that is fine. Students should reflect on their 21st century skills daily to give them an opportunity to regroup and refocus as needed. This is really a fun and valuable activity! This version was done a 7/8 Math class. Image Details Source: www.pxleyes.com Title : rube goldberg photoshop contest (4530), pictures page 1 – pxleyes Dimension : 1500 x 1230 File Type : JPG/JPEG
