THE ROLES AND FUNCTIONS OF

In the 1960’s students were taught like this:

In the current classroom, computers, tablets, iPods, iPads, Smartboards, etc. fill the hands of the students and classrooms:

A dramatic shift is sweeping through our schools. The signs are all around us. Third graders texting on their cell phones. Kindergarteners who can navigate an iPod Touch better than we can. Middle schoolers who already have an Internet following on their blog or YouTube channel.
These new 21st century learners are highly relational and demand quick access to new knowledge. More than that, they are capable of engaging in learning at a whole new level. With the world literally at their fingertips, today’s students need teachers and administrators to re-envision the role of technology in the classroom.

There are many skills that children will need in order to be successful in the 21st century. Here are a few of the most important 21st century skills:
Ability to collaborate, work in teams Critical thinking skills Oral presentation skills Written communication skills Ability to use technology Willingness to examine civic and global issues Ability to conduct research to learn about issues and concepts Chance to learn about new career opportunities

In order to prepare students to play their role in the 21st century society we are a part of, the following can be considered when deciding how education will look in our school and classrooms:1. Instruction should be student-centered
Education is no longer about listening to the teacher talk and absorbing information. Instead of passively receiving information, their students would gather information on their own, under the guidance of the teacher.

2. Education should be collaborative
Students should be encouraged to work together to discover information, piece it together, and construct meaning. Schools should also be collaborating with other educational institutions to share information and learn about different practices or methods that have been developed.

3. Learning should have context
Students will be much more motivated to learn something that they can see the value in. Lessons have little purpose if they don't have any impact in the student's life outside schools.
