2. Globalization has opened up the world
and allowed people to connect in new
and exciting ways. We blend traditions
and create unique belief systems that are
not taught in any classroom, but are
developed through our life experiences
and passions.
3. We transmit our values and cultures
without the expectation of them being
adopted by our audience. Society has
changed. We cannot adequately prepare
students for the society that exists today or
will exist tomorrow, if we continue to
prepare for the society that existed
yesterday.
4. To prepare students to play their role in
the 21st century society we are a part of,
the following can be considered when
deciding how education will look in our
schools and classrooms:
1. Instruction should be student-centered
- student-centered is strongly encouraged in the
21st century.
Education is no longer about listening to the
teacher talk and
absorbing the information.
5. -Different learning styles are encouraged, and
students have an
enhanced sense of motivation and
responsibility.
-They engage in many different types of hands-
on activities, as
well as demonstrate learning in many
different ways. Learning about discovery, not
the memorization of facts.
6. 2. Education should be collaborative
-Students must learn how to collaborate with
others. Students should be encouraged to work
together to discover information, piece it together,
and construct meaning.
-Schools should also be collaborating with other
educational
institutions around the world to share information
and learn
about different practices or methods that have
been developed.
7. 3. Learning should have context
-The teacher can make a point of helping
students to understand how the skills they are
building can be applied in their lives. Students will
be much more motivated to learn something that
they can see the value in. lessons have little
purpose if they do not have any impact in a
students life outside of the school.
8. There are many skills that children will need in order
to be successful in the 21st century. Here are a few
of the most important 21st century skills:
•Ability to collaborate, work in teams
•Critical thinking skills

Century Learning:
•Technology allows for 24/7 access
to information
•Constant interaction
•Easily created and shared digital
content
10. It is important for our students to learn in a global
classroom, acknowledging that the classroom extends
beyond the physical walls. Our students are more
inclined to fined information by accessing the Internet
through cellphones and computers or chatting with
friends on a social networking site As our digital
capacity expands and our training in technology use
grows, teachers will begin to utilize technology to better
meet the needs and interests of students though
technology application and instruction.
