2. WHAT IS THE 21ST CENTURY?
It is dawned as the beginning of the Digital Age- a time of
unprecedented growth in technology and its subsequent
information explosion.
3. WHY DO WE NEED TO CREATE A
21ST CENTURY EDUCATIONAL
SYSTEM?

4. THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN
DECIDING HOW EDUCATION
WILL LOOK IN SCHOOLS AND
CLASSROOMS.
1. Instruction should be student-
centered
2. Education should be
collaborative
3. Learning should have context
5. INSTRUCTION SHOULD BE
STUDENT-CENTERED
The students would gather information on their
own, under the guidance of their teacher.
Students will need to connect the new information
with the knowledge they already have and apply it to
solving the problem at hand.
The teacher would act as a facilitator for the
students.
Learning is about discovery, not the memorization
of facts.
6. EDUCATION SHOULD BE
COLLABORATIVE
Students must learn how to
collaborate with others.
Students should be encouraged to
work together to discover information,
place it together and construct meaning.
Collaboration needs to be dynamic.
7. LEARNING SHOULD
HAVE CONTEXT
The teacher help students to understand
how the skills they are building can be
applied in their lives.

learn something that they see value in.
Lessons have little purpose if they do not
have any impact in a student's life outside of
school.
8. WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY?
Technology is a tool, a way for fact-based
learning and allows students to do a lot of
the research using the Internet and various
tools.
Students are learning very valuable
research skills, which they can transplant at
high levels of education, at universities and
beyond.
9. THE ROLE OF
TECHNOLOGY IN 21ST
CENTURY LEARNING:
1. Technology allows for 24/7
access to information
2. Constant social interaction, and
3. Easily created and shared
digital content.
10. IN THIS SETTING..
Learners learn in a global classroom, acknowledging that
the classroom extends beyond the physical walls.
Students rather use gadgets and social networking sites to
find information.
in this case, we need to use this to our advantage and use it
in our teaching.
