Awesome Graphic Featuring 12 Learning Skills for 21st Century Learners

I just came across this awesome graphic from User Generated Education and want to share it with you as well. I have been posting several educational graphics on the 21st century skills for students and teachers  here in Educational Technology and Mobile Learning but this the one below is a bit different. The attributes this graphic features are not digitally focused and apart from the one involving collaboration across different networks, all the other skills relate the students social, emotional, and personal construct.
I am not sure to what extent you would agree with this classification of learning skills but personally I find them really interesting, yes they don't emphasize the digital component but learning is not all about digital skills. We are teaching human beings and not machines after all.

Have a look at this graphic and share with us your feedback. Enjoy

I know I will get some very mad responses but I am used to them I do love criticism when it is constructive.

3 Types of Technology Teachers Shouldn't Be Without



Technology is part and parcel of the modern schoolroom. Teachers can either continue to learn and grow themselves, or be left behind. Fortunately, the tech that's out there is both cool and easy to use. Best of all, it actually helps students achieve more than they could before.
Presentation Tools
Every good teacher needs presentation tools but, while there are plenty to choose from, there's also an elephant standing in the room that no one is talking about. With most presentations, teachers rely on animations or videos. Where do these videos come from? Primarily from the Internet. What happens when the school's Internet access is slow or intermittent?
