Watch the short film A Vision of K-12 Students Today and explain what a 21st century learner is.
A Vision of K-12 Students Today is a short film explaining how children in today’s society learn. A 21st century learner is a student who will use engaging technologies in a collaborative learning environment to assist them in transferring knowledge and skills into products, solution, and new information. Encouraging students to be engaged in learning is vital to their success. In today’s society children do not learn by sitting around and reading and writing out of a book but by creating blogs, podcast, videos, and using multimedia. As educators we must encourage our students to become independent learners and with the help of technology this goal has become easier than ever before to accomplish. By not teaching our students to utilize technology we are putting them at a disadvantage for success.
Hey Sean! What a provocative post! How things have changed from when most of us were in school. I think we all stared at textbooks bored to death. Not only are the students learning how to use technology, we, as future educators will be learning too. None of us will be bored! Really good video!

ReplyDeleteI will repeat the comment I left for her:
A kids version of the Wesch and Fisch videos we used to start EDM310. Maybe I should combine all three in one assignment. Thanks!
