Feedback on "Contemporary Teaching Skills" Checklist

I'm wondering if some of you could contribute feedback to a list of "Contemporary Teaching Skills."

I've posted a draft / attempt at digesting and synthesizing all the calls for “21st Century” teaching skills into one list - a list that reflects the best practice of “Web-enhanced” educators: people who use technology as a means to promote motivation and critical thinking.

My goal in developing this checklist is to outline a continuum of skills for all teachers. In other words, level 1 is where all teachers can and should be. Levels 2 and 3 identify ways these skills can be developed.

The checklist is not definitive - on the contrary, I attempted to identify "the least someone needs to know" in order to enjoy success at integrating technology. There are a million other great things to do and explore, but the 21st Century isn’t getting any younger… Finally, this is why I’ve opted for the current terminology of “Contemporary” teaching skills. There’s nothing Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon about this stuff - video, animation, podcasts, blogging, Thinking Routines and personalized learning are just the paper and pencils of today.

So… Could you please, either send me an email (tom@ozline.com), reply, comment or contribute your "Diigo" thoughts?

My main interests in feedback are twofold: 1) Is anything you see as a “core” skill that's been left off - something people can’t succeed without knowing, and 2) Is there an area that can just as well be dropped?
