Teaching methods have changed significantly over the past 100 years. In the past, teachers focused on whole-class instruction with large class sizes, making it difficult to meet individual student needs. Now, teachers focus more on individual and group learning to accommodate different learning styles. Additionally, questioning was once limited to answers the teacher could provide, while curiosity was discouraged. Current approaches emphasize developing useful questions and organizing thinking, using diagrams and encouraging curiosity. Technology is now integrated into classrooms to facilitate communication, access software, and take advantage of online resources to enhance learning in a fun way.

3. Teaching Method 100 – 50 - 25 years ago teachers focused more on whole class teaching. There were large class numbers so it was really hard to meet individual’s needs. Teachers now focus more on individual and group needs because they know everyone learns differently and it’s better for us. 100 - 50 - 25 Years ago learning – Today's Learning- Must learn by the line be above. Everybody had to achieve at this line ! Today we know that everyone learns in different ways and everyone starts from different places.

4. Thinking and Questioning 100 -50 -25 years ago teachers knew it all and students were only encouraged to ask the questions that teachers could answer. Student’s who were too curious got into a lot of trouble. They were just cheeky. Now we spend more time learning how to ask useful questions and learning ways to organise our thinking. We use more diagrams to sort out our ideas and everyone knows it’s important to be curious.

5. We use more technology in classes to communicate our ideas and to get access to software and all the free resources on the internet. It helps us learn better and it’s fun. Classroom Learning Classroom Technology Classroom Use
