My plan for my 21st century competency dealt with critical thinking and creativity in designing a personal skill related fitness plan in my Physical Education 8 class. The assignment I had the students complete was a personal plan in an area, of a sport or activity, that they struggled in. Students were encouraged to develop skills in an activity or sport they enjoyed. This was determined in order to develop a physical education program that was designed for their needs. In order to develop this skill plan, students were taught about the components of skill related fitness, different types of muscle fibers, and different planning methods (i.e. F.I.T.T.) in class one. They were then given two classes to work on their plan. Throughout the year, they were given class time to work on their own plans and practice what they had put down on paper.

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.

With ScratchJr, young children (ages 5-7) learn important new skills as they program their own interactive stories and games.
By snapping together graphical programming blocks, children can make characters move, jump, dance, and sing. In the process, children learn to solve problems, design projects, and express themselves creatively on the computer. They also use math and language in a meaningful and motivating context, supporting the development of early-childhood numeracy and literacy. With ScratchJr, children don’t just learn to code, they code to learn.
