Technology Learners
Our teachers today generally use the traditional education program
applicable to learners of the past, acquainted with linear, textual and
sequential learning. They fail to
realize that the new generation of the 21st millennium is not the
kind of learner that they were, but are information technology or digital
learners.
The 21st century education is going to be empowered
by digital learners pretty soon as the beginning is coming.

21ST Century Learning is done with :
• COLLABORATION - Learning how to work with others to achieve a common purpose. Students bring
gadgets with them as well as presenting the knowledge the knowledge and
abilities they have to come up with a product/solution.
•
Communication-
Students use their mobile devices to discuss content they are learning with
others, set goals for themselves, and share new concepts. The lines of
communication now become multi-directional and extend beyond the classroom.
•
Critical
Thinking- helps to construct a firm foundation for personalized
learning. In many classrooms, teachers don’t provide the time necessary for
critical thinking in order to develop original solutions to problems. Many of
the problems that are provided to students also have only one possible right or
wrong answer and don’t encourage true critical thinking.
When students are given the opportunity to utilize
all of the resources available within a classroom to solve problems, they can
be challenged to personally connect to their learning and construct new
understanding.
