21st Century Learning

= Defining 21st Century Teaching and Learning = === 21st Century Teaching and Learning requires us to not only “think outside the box”, but to throw away the box and view education in a whole new way. No longer can we apply the traditional teaching methods of the past, we must embrace the new wave of ever advancing technology and allow our students to fully participate in the process. We need to prepare our students for a world we cannot predict by teaching them skills that cannot be taught using the traditional teaching methods. Schools become centers, teachers are facilitators, and students are engaged and excited about their learning endeavors. 21st Century Learning ===
