I learned that teaching literacy takes the following steps: Make best use of the Internet.
Determine the information needed to solve a problem, and locate and extract that information from the best sources.
Organize and present information in the appropriate fashion (e.g., Word document or slide show).
Manage files and folders, including file-naming conventions and extensions.
Use word processing, presentation applications, and spreadsheets.
Use email, including sending attachments.
Navigate folders and directories.
Recognize and avoid security threats such as viruses, hoaxes, and spam.
Troubleshoot common computer and printer problems.
Recognize the social, cultural, economic, and ethical effects of the Internet.

Making sure students know how to manage their education along with personal and work life. 

Having students do presentations and make presentations could enhance students communication skills. I will have students' make and present their projects to classmates or the  entire class. 

It is important for all teachers across the curriculum to incorporate writing in some sort of way. Writing is one of the most struggled with abilities for students. I will incorporate writing into my classroom by having them do typing, warm-ups in complete sentences, and maybe have students do some sort of current events papers. 

It is very important to teach students ethics. It is important to make sure you are teaching ethics professionally and personally. 

What stands out most for me in this module is the sttement that critical thinking is a deliberative process built on lower order thinking skills. As an educator my goal will be to ask questions that help develop these skills.

This module has reminded me of the imprtance of using soft skilss in my position as an educator.  I will focus on incorporating these skills in my interactions with students and colleagues. Arthur Butler's post: 

The use of the soft skills discussed in this module will allow me to become more effective in teaching the hard skills the students are learning for career success.

Comment on William Mendel's post: 

This module has demonstrated the importance of soft skills both in the classroom and workplace.  I intend to be more cognizant of the role of soft skills when interacting with both my students and colleagues

i have learned from this module the importance of soft skills as an esentil too for teaching the hard skills students must learn as part of their education. Successful implementation of soft skills will help me be a successful educator.
