21st Century Education

I am going to briefly write about what 21st Century learning means to me and what I think about when designing my lessons and resources. I aim to incorporate the following as much as possible:  

• Keep students interested by helping them see how what they are learning prepares them for life in the real world.
  
  
• Instil curiosity
  
  
• Be flexible
  
  
• Excite learners to become even more resourceful so that they will continue to learn outside the formal school day.
  
  
• Involve digital text (I love creating visual PowerPoint presentations to assist my explanations in math lessons).
  
  
• Create fun activities that will motivate students in a similar fashion to how digital games excites them (for example in my math projects students can ‘level up’ if they progress through certain tasks, or my math mysteries embed a story that makes completing review worksheets fun).
  
  

I'll probably continue to add to this list as I continue to collaborate with others.



Thanks for reading!
