21st century learning

  • ow should education be structured to meet the needs of students in this 21st century world?  How do we now define “School”, “Teacher” “Le
  • arner” and "Curriculum"?   
  • Schools in the 21st century will be laced with a project-based curriculum for life aimed at engaging students in addressing real-world problems, issues important to humanity, and questions that matter

  • This is a dramatic departure from the factory-model education of the past.  It is abandonment, finally, of textbook-driven, teacher-centered, paper and pencil schooling.  It means a new way of understanding the concept of “knowledge”, a new definition of the “educated person”.  A new way of designing and delivering the curriculum is required.
  • We offer the following new definitions for “School”, “Teacher” and “Learner” appropriate for the 21st century
  • Schools will go from ‘buildings’ to 'nerve centers', with walls that are porous and transparent, connecting teachers, students and the community to the wealth of knowledge that exists in the world.
  • Teacher - From primary role as a dispenser of information to orchestrator of learning and helping students turn information into knowledge, and knowledge into wisdom. 
  • The 21st century will require knowledge generation, not just information delivery, and schools will need to create a “culture of inquiry”.
  • Learner - In the past a learner was a young person who went to school, spent a specified amount of time in certain courses, received passing grades and graduated.  Today we must see learners in a new context:
  • First – we must maintain student interest by helping them see how what they are learning prepares them for life in the real world. 
  • Second – we must instill curiosity, which is fundamental to lifelong learning.   
  • Third – we must be flexible in how we teach.  
  • ourth – we must excite learners to become even more resourceful so that they will continue to learn outside the formal school day.”
  • So what will schools look like, exactly?  What will the curriculum look like?  How will this 21st century curriculum be organized, and how will it impact the way we design and build schools, how we assess students, how we purchase resources, how we acquire and utilize the new technologies, and what does all this mean for us in an era of standardized testing and accountability?
  • Imagine a school in which the students – all of them – are so excited about school that they can hardly wait to get there.  Imagine having little or no “discipline problems” because the students are so engaged in their studies that those problems disappear. Imagine having parents calling, sending notes, or coming up to the school to tell you about the dramatic changes they are witnessing in their children:  n

    Build Vocabulary Cards with Google Presentation10:32 AM Susan Oxnevad 1 comment There is a wealth of research to suggest that vocabulary knowledge is the single best predictor of student academic achievement across all curriculum areas. Experts agree that vocabulary development is an attainable goal. If given the opportunity to receive effective vocabulary instruction, most students can acquire vocabulary at rates that will improve their comprehension and also their chances for success in school. Technology is an effective and engaging tool that can be used to improe vocabulary acquisition for all learners and engage them in the learning process. Google Presentation offers some features that make it an attractive tool for a lesson in which students work collaboratively to construct knowledge about vocabulary by creating vocabulary cards.

    Most of us agree that the use of images and graphics in e-learning help the learners make visual associations. However the images or graphics need to be relevant to the content being presented. They need to support the text and be used, not for diversion, but a clear instructional purpose.

    I'm a visual learner, so physically viewing something is my preferred experience in life. It is this characteristic that causes me to find a lot of great images and videos on the web. In fact, I find so much interesting stuff that sometimes I just want to save it, so I turn to bookmarking and web clipping apps.

    Learning never stops, but for it to start, it must be engaging and have relevance to the learner. The process is cyclical, starting with a big idea which provides a real-world context, and continues through to reflection, where the initial assumptions are revisited and where to go next is explored.
