Learning activity details

Teachers, eager to refine their 21st century instruction, consistently ask “Show me what it looks like!” Henrico 21 does just that. This repository features over 500 high quality lessons that support the development of 21st century literacies. The teachers that author these lessons model creative integration of Microsoft products and other modern technologies to foster a rich K-12 learning environment. Lessons are evaluated using the Teaching Innovation Progression Chart (TIP Chart,) our 21st century rubric. Using the power of WordPress to format and post lessons, this constantly-evolving site has grown from 8 to over 500 lessons in less than two years. With the addition of Student 21 this year, students can now easily publish their work to share with a larger network.

Henrico 21 is a multi-dimensional concept. It is a repository of high quality 21st century lessons, an awards ceremony that celebrates the authors, and a descriptive term for the type of lesson we want all of our students to experience every day. Henrico 21 is changing the culture in our schools and developing community surrounding 21st century learning.
