Psychological safety by having equal chances to talk
-students need to work on not talking over each other and allowing each member to lead the conversation at times. 

Data literacy: Students need to be able to decipher the difference between fact and fiction. Social media has stunted this skill. 

Tech savviness 
-We all know that students today are much more technologically advanced. This is a skill that they already have. 

Adaptability and Flexibility  
-Students are very flexible and adaptable. If you look at this past school year, they have had to make many changes in their every day life. Adapting to remote learning and moving away from traditional schooling shows they possess this skill. 

Creativity: students have become depend on various forms of technology and apps (google, pinterest, etc) and often refrain from demonstrating their own creativity.


Pausing before responding 
-students can definitely improve on this. They tend to say what's on their mind and want to be heard right away. This current world we live in has taught them they can get, say, buy, post etc. anything they want instantly.
