Using Technology for Teaching and Learningin the 21st Century Classroom



This website gives a vision on how schools can best prepare our students in the 21st century and it mainly focuses on six things.
Core Subjects was stating that schools main focus is on the No Child Left Behind but also be focusing on basic competency so that students can learn at higher levels.
Learning Skills which is stating that students need to learn more than just core subjects they need to know how to think critically, analyzing and comprehension is a must just as well as solving problems and making decisions.
21Century Tools meaning the importance of incorporating information and communication technologies and education into the classroom from elementary levels on up.
21 Century Context which only means that students lives are connected to the real world beyond the classroom.
21 Century Content states that we should prepare students to live and work in the 21st century.
New Assessments that Measure 21 Century Skills meaning move beyond standardized testing measure the students skills and use technology based assessments and demand feedback.

Technology in Today's Role include computers, telecommunications, audio and video based media. There is clearly a need of assessment tools that measure the students skills.
Technology will help find ways to more effectively utilize assessment to help students learning. Some 21st Century learning skills and literacy are thinking and problem solving skills, critical thinking and problem solving, creativity and intellectual curiosity.
