<p>"<span>What I advocate for is blend of the traditional and the 21st Century. I would like to see schools opperate in dual fashion. Think of it as two schools in one (not necessarily a school within a school). Students learning needs and interests can be identified and students can be placed either in a traditional classroom or work indepenedently with the help of an advisor based on whichever learning modality is optimal for each student in each subject."</span></p>

This is something that should be set up in all class rooms. Not only does it help a student unable to attend the class but it enables new teachers to see what experience is all about and enables all teachers to see how their students are relating to them. I really do not think a good teacher has time to see the effect of her performance on each of 20+ students. When you actually look at the facial gestures in the film you can see the ones that are "lost in space". Then you or someone can maybe…

Here is my take on 21 Century Education. #1 eliminate desks in favor of lightweight movable tables. Add some couches and soft chairs. Bright colors for walls. More problem solving, analytics, real world applications. As we now segregate by age we need to drop that. I favor 3 year groupings. So we would have pre K + K in one area, 1 - 3 grade in another, 4 - 6, 7-9, college prep. Instead of teaching one subject in isolation teach 3 or more together because that is how life is. Forget…

Forget concentrating on facts. Facts will change too frequently. Teach process instead. Teach how to write WELL. How to generate an original concept and discover (on the Internet) how to support the theory.

I think 21st Century Education is about preparing our students for the current and future work place. Technology is absolutely a part of that skill set. This is the digital age after all, the age of information. I think our students need to understand how to access information from a variety of sources. They need to know how to communicate effectively on a variety of platforms. Equally important is the ability to be creative, to think outside of the box and to take initiative for their own…

They need to know how to communicate effectively on a variety of platforms. Equally important is the ability to be creative, to think outside of the box and to take initiative for their own learning. I think the biggest difference between the 20th Century and 21 Century, with regard to education and the work place, is the difference between focusing on the product (Industrial Age) verses focusing on ideas (Age of Information).

Panaboards can be used for various purposes. Written information on the interactive whiteboard can be saved on your computer, USB drive flash memory or SD card memory. This information can then be shared with colleagues - this is also in a color format. Options are easy to understand the product mostly very friendly. It guarantees to give you an added advantage when you preside over conferences and presentations. All you need do is connect a…

I concur with Carl Anderson "I also don't think 21st Century pedagogy is about web2 either. A teacher can implement 21st Century pedagogy without a shred of technology"<br />

Constructivist classrooms where students are grappling with problems and creating solutions don't require a computer but rather a teacher who knows how to ask open ended questions whose solutions are not written in the answer key of a textbook.<br />

Homeschooling archaic? How about the parent who has a technology rich home, who has connected with other parents of homeschooled kids for collaborative efforts and socialization, who know how to ask/use essential questions and guide their child without preaching answers..... I would argue homeschooling has nothing to do with it but rather what is the environment of that homeschool.

I've been following this thread, and the conversation has been very interesting. I believe this idea of learner choice is probably one of the parts of 21st Century Learning that will stick. Technologies come and go, and can be excellent tools, but the best way to get students to learn is to show them that the things they learn in school are relevant to their lives. Choice is a big part of this. If we don't offer students choices to pursue learning in the subjects and areas that interest them…

If we don't offer students choices to pursue learning in the subjects and areas that interest them they will stop trying to engage in learning and just "get through" the set of subjects someone decided was important.

I like the idea of posting videos on youtube of us teaching. That way, the students who miss class can view what we did. And as you said, if they miss something we said, they can rewind. Sounds like a great idea. I wish I had the means to do it!

I think that 21st Century Education has certain aspects that have been around for a long time. When you keep the student active and engaged the student learns and develops necessary skills. Todays technology allows the teacher to engage and keep the student active in so many different ways. This is what is so great about 21st Century learning. . Here is a webpage I found through YouTube that shows some of the differences. . .…
