Friday I attended an Apple Roadshow, which highlighted best practices in a one-to-one environment and was reminded of the Partnership for 21st Century Skills.

I knew you would know. I’d love to take credit for it all but the reality is I am connected to a greater mind. I am learning everyday reading blogs, checking out wikis and talking to my network.
