3. FUTURE ORIENTED
The future-oriented Education, of course, is moving quickly to the tools of today
and tomorrow. But Future-oriented Education goes way beyond that — far beyond
just teaching “old things in new ways” — to offer kids entirely new things that we
don’t teach today, either systematically or at all, but that are needed for tomorrow.
These including connecting with people around the world via Twitter and Skype,
doing complex analyses using new tools like Wolfram Alpha, creating new software
apps, using CAD and 3D printing to create new physical products, simulating
machines and populations using computer-based simulation tools, building and
programming robots. and meeting in Virtual Worlds.

4. LEARNING BECOMES INTERESTING
It engages and challenge
students with brand
new interactive method.

5. IMPROVE SKILLS
The 21st century skills refers to a broad set of knowledge, skills, work
habits, and character traits that are believed—by educators, school
reformers, college professors, employers, and others—to be critically
important to success in today’s world, particularly in collegiate
programs and contemporary careers and workplaces. Generally
speaking, 21st century skills can be applied in all academic subject
areas, and in all educational, career, and civic settings throughout a
student’s life.

6. INCREASE COLLABORATION
The concept of collaborative learning, the grouping and pairing of
students for the purpose of achieving an academic goal, has been
widely researched and advocated throughout the professional
literature. The term "collaborative learning" refers to an instruction
method in which students at various performance levels work
together in small groups toward a common goal. The students are
responsible for one another's learning as well as their own. Thus, the
success of one student helps other students to be successful.

7. REDUCE WEIGHT
Our school recently adopted an online learning-management system that
we feel goes a long way towards bridging information gaps between
teachers, students, and parents. With this system, teachers can make
course materials available to students online and can grade work and
return it with comments, without leaving a physical paper trail. Students
can revise their work, immediately resubmit it, and track their assignments.
IN short, this online learning space allows teachers in our school to
extend course content beyond the walls of the classroom, in effect
transforming the mysterious, "closed" classroom into an open one.
