2¢ Worth » What Does a 21st Century School Look Like? - 0 views

The central theme of our BBQ flavored conversation was t he challenge of getting reluctant teachers to buy in to the spirit and practice of a 21st century school. Since the principal was at the table, I suggested that the use of digital networked content be part of the evaluation expectations for teachers, and that it needed to go much MUCH deeper than just saying, “We want you to do one technology-infused unit this year.” I suggested that all relics of learning and teaching that are shared, must be digital.

Melissa Seifman on 14 Jan 09I totally agree. A 21st century school, and instructors integrate real technology into their lessons. It is no longer sufficient to call a lesson with internet research and use of powerpoint or other office tools a "technology" lesson.

Students would be working, but in the same spirit of the work they engage in when playing many of the video games that they spend time with. Their work would be such that they are constantly asking questions, and are in constant need of information and collaborative arrangements for inventing solutions

They will also need to dedicate much time to responding to discussion forums, occasional synchronous chat sessions, grading projects, and maintaining their online classrooms.

Online classrooms are a must I think.. Today's students are to be much more interested and engaged by online learning environments than traditional text-book/lecture based ones because they have literally grown up in it. Their way of thinking has changed.
