Demonstrate Real-World Problem-Solving

• “Take the mess that confronts you, organize it into a problem,, figure out what to do and implement your decisions-modifying them as you go. To organize the messes into problems and develop solutions, you must ignore the irrelevant, eliminate the false recognize the incomplete and find the missing pieces.”

23

A Quote to Consider:

• 1999 is the year that the IQ of digital devices will rise while the IQ needed to make them work will decline.

• Joel Dreyfus, The Technology Boom Will Keep on Rocking www.pathfinder.com/fortune/

• Portfolios allow students to demonstrate their multi-tasking capabilities.
