21st Century Learning

With a new curriculum that is innovative in structure we are constantly trying to formulate learning that best suits the children as they prepare for their future. The days of replicating the classrooms of the 1960's are over and workspaces and jobs have changed dramatically over the last 17 years that I have been involved in education. I really like this short video on what the kids need to be aware of as they prepare for the new global village. Clearly they are advocating a learning environment that promotes competition with themselves so they are working at full potential and collaboration and cooperation with their colleagues. This video encourages teachers to be creative in nature and introduces the concept of the global schoolhouse - all possible in today's world. . ENJOY......
