Meh, it was fine, but oversimplified. As a library teacher at a school that's been wrestling with questions of "21st century learning" for at least a year or so, I flipped through most of this book quickly. If you're new to the concepts, though, it might be a good introduction. ( )

Simply the best book of the year making the case for 21st century skills in the context of content discipline knowledge, Trilling and Fadel provide a common-sense approach foundation. While their list of 21st century skills is not agreed upon by everyone, ICT literacy, critical thinking, creative thinking, information, literacy and other skill propel learners to master content knowledge. This is a refreshing approach and matches the AASL 2009 Guidelines argument that tool skills are means to an end of deep understanding rather than ends in themselves.
