The document discusses the benefits of project-based and web-based learning in 21st century education. It argues that these methods teach students important skills like critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration. When using online resources, students can access authentic experiences, connect with experts worldwide, and apply their knowledge to real-life situations. While these methods require resources and tech-savvy teachers, they allow students to take an active role in their own education.

6. We live in a world that thrives on technology…so it only makes sense to incorporate this into our teaching (given that the technology does not overtake the curriculum, the learning) In the 21 st century it is not all about how well you can memorize something…or how well you can write a test. It is about how well you can perform. Example? Want to make Shakespeare fun? Connect with a Shakespeare master online and have your students learn by acting out the play, watching live performances and by working with specialists.

9. Do you like listening to a professor lecture for three hours? Or would you prefer to engage in your learning? While lecturing has its place, it can be kind of mind numbing sometimes. Example? Teaching health – specifically, methods for coping with stress? Why not have students investigate this for themselves?

13. The web seems to be a part of our everyday life. It makes sense to utilize it, where appropriate, in the classroom. Teaching students about the environment? Use blogs as a way for students to express their feelings, knowledge and concern! (Added benefit? Saves paper  )

16. Create an ONLINE survey

18. Did you like Math in school? There are many kids who do not! Famous question: Why do I need to learn this?? Famous quote: I am just not good at math Famous thought: Math is boring Example: Teaching students about statistics? Have the students come up with their own surveys (which can be created online). Students will take the concepts of statistics and apply them to the real life use of statistics! Making math FUN! (or at least I think so..)
