The purpose of the 21things4 project and the resources shared here are for K-8 educators.
There are 21 "Things" - which are Ed Tech topics.
Personalize the learning by choosing a "Thing", which has several "Quests".
Each "Quest" is a project based learning experience based on free digital tools and resources to meet the ISTE Student Standards.
Move through the "Quests" and create digital artifacts, experience interactives and formative assessments, and earn Certificates and badges.
All of the resources are FREE and were created and annually updated by a team of instructional technology consultants in Michigan and supported by the State REMC Association.
Educators facilitate the web sites live or place content in their LMS to monitor students progress.
