Computer literacy is required in the workplace and on a personal level for security, best practice, resourceful, troubleshooting practices. 

Working in a group or team setting teaches students how to communicate and work well in teams. This will enhance their skillsets to do so in a corporate setting in their career field. In the classroom divide the group work up into parts and as a whole and develop a grading system to hold not only the group but the group participants accountable. This also works on the student's soft skills. 

I have learned in this chapter the importance of writing and how to utilize it for many different purposes. For example it gives you practice when utilizing it for educational studies, or it can be a form of expression and creativity. It can also help with soft skills by working on a group project collaboratively. There are also different stages and steps of writing. knowing how to evaluate these steps and reviewing your writing can be very useful in your educational and professional pathways. 

What I have learned in this section of the course is active listening skills, effective ways of communication, Critical thinking & creativity to engage with students.
