Such discoveries which further led to the invention of electricity, telephone, computer, internet and so on. 1 (January/February 2010): 10-11. Presentation given at the National Academies of Science Workshop on 21st Century Skills, Washington, DC. The iTeach team has also established an online forum — iSPHERE (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/isphere_group/) — for the exchange and communication of ideas, resources, and experiences for those involved in the development and implementation of interdisciplinary science programs in higher education. According to the U. S. Department of Commerce, STEM occupations are growing at 17%, while other occupations are growing at 9.8%. NSTA Position Statement: The Integral Role of Laboratory Investigations in Science Instruction. NSTA acknowledges the need for and importance of 21st-century skills within the context of science education and advocates for the science education community to support 21st-century skills consistent with best practices across a preK–16 science education system. The focus at all times is on engagement of the students in the learning process using hands-on experience wherever possible and employing appropriate technology (e.g., clickers, podcasts, interactive whiteboards).

National science education standards. NSTA recognizes the inherent and strong connection of many 21st-century skills with science education. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press. National organizations, including the Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21) and the National Research Council (NRC), have sought to identify and define 21st-century skills, explore their integration within the education system, and address the intersection of 21st-century skills and the teaching of core disciplines (P21 December 2009; NRC 2010). The integration of discipline content and skills occurs through a modular, theme-based approach to the curriculum.
