Self-Directional 21st Century Skill
This year has been drastically different compared to normal. We have all been one-hundred percent online and this has changed the classroom from a physical one to a digital one. With all this change seemingly out of nowhere, you have to be able to adapt to what is new. This is why I think this school year is the best example there is of the Self-Directional 21st Century Skill.
I'd imagine that almost no student has a fully structured schedule during these times, and even if they do, it is very easy for it to become sloppy when everything is being done from your home. I personally have a very flexible school schedule, which is nice, but it is a necessity that I get things done when they need to be done. This is sometimes difficult when procrastination becomes so easy due to the circumstances.
I have not done as well as I could of in terms of my self-directional skills, but I have a great opportunity to improve upon them. It is quite different going from the previous year full of teachers to now, where I have almost no teachers at all. This makes it so that I have no choice but to take my schooling into my own hands, and be more independent then before. This year has and will continue to allow me to strengthen my Self-Directional 21st Century Skills.
