Thursday Feb. 3 class

In class we watched Wagner's seven skills lecture.  I thought it was quite interesting.  The skill he listed were critical thinking and problem solving, collaboration across networks and leading teams, agility and adaptability, initiative and entrepreneurship, effective oral and written communication, accessing and analyzing information, and curiosity and imagination.  I agree that these are qualities that are needed for success.  They seem like difficult things to teach though.  It seems like some people have these things, while others don't.  I also think that there need to be some changes in the curriculum students focus on (teaching towards tests do not cover some of these key skills!)
