  • Learning becomes less about pounding facts into individual students' brains and more about how to think collaboratively and critically. To be effective, collaborative learning requires mutual respect among all the players involved, a willingness to listen to others' perspectives, being open to criticism and a desire to share knowledge, and being responsible for and accountable to the group as a whole.

    This article really drove home the idea again for changing our education system to adapt to the times. The factory system connection and the way different ideologies influenced our teaching is very powerful. We need to be setting critical thinking skills at the forefront of our objectives. We are looking for students to continue their life with a thirst of finding out more.

    I liked this article. It really re-emphazies the need to build students with stronger learning skill such as critical thinking, evaluation, and analysis.

    The 21st-century child will be greatly influenced by events thousands of miles away because they have an immediate impact. Less than 80 years ago no one owned a TV and few people travelled more than 50 miles from the town in which they were born.

    Excellent article to remind me how fast technology has progressed in the last century. There are plenty of people that have witnessed all of the changes also.
