What Is Century 21st Learning?

One of the key roles roles for education is to prepare future workers to deal with the challenges of time. The kind of work that needs to be done by anyone who has the expertise, a cell phone, laptop, and internet connection, but we need an education system that produces them. Education becomes a key role in the 21st century. Students graduating from secondary schools, technical colleges and universities are lacking in the basic skills. The 21st century skills gap is costing a business a great deal of money because these people are not prepared. Achieving goals for our time is increasing in powerful technologies we have for communicating, collaborating and learning. To be a productive contributor you need to contribute to work and society, fulfill civic responsibility and carry forward traditions and values. Global forces are coming together to help transform learning to meet the demands of our time and we need to get prepared and get on board.

  1. I agree that as educators we need to prepare our students for teh 21st century skills in technology. Obviously, they need these skills when they enter the workforce because businesses are spending a great deal of money teaching their employees 21st century skills.

  2. Isn't this an interesting thought when we are graduating students that are not prepared for the work world? What is the answer to this? Do we force educators to take technology classes to update their teaching skills?
