The document discusses the skills needed for students to be successful in the 21st century. It states that schools need to change how they educate students to prepare them for a changing world. The curriculum should help students connect to the world and understand global issues while developing skills like collaboration, critical thinking, technology use, civic engagement, and research. The 21st century classroom incorporates these skills through project-based and multimedia lessons that develop various intelligences, with textbooks as just one resource.

3. Educational
technology is the effective
use of technological tools
in learning. As a concept,
it concerns an array of
tools, such as media,
machines and networking
hardware, as well as
considering underlying
theoretical perspectives
for their effective
application.

6. Our world is changing, and in order to
prepare our children for this new world we
need to change the way we educate them. In
the 21st century educators must create a
curriculum that will help students connect
with the world and understand the issues that
our world faces.
Schools in the 21st century will become
nerve centers, a place for teachers and
students to connect with those around them
and their community. Teachers in this new
environment will become less instructors and
more orchestrators of information, giving
children the ability to turn knowledge into
wisdom.

7. There are many skills that children will
need in order to be successful in the 21st
century. Here are a few of the most
important 21st century skills:
Ability to collaborate, work in teams
Critical thinking skills
Oral presentation skills
Written communication skills
Ability to use technology
Willingness to examine civic and global
issues
Ability to conduct research to learn about
issues and concepts
Chance to learn about new career
opportunities

8. The curriculum in the classroom is designed
to incorporate many skills and intelligence
levels, and makes use of technology and
multimedia. The lessons are not based on
textbooks, instead they are project based.
Skills and content are learned through their
research and projects, and textbooks are
provided as one of many possible resources.
A new addition to 21st century curriculum is
the study of green education and
environmental issues. Kids are taught
awareness of their world and real experts
such as scientist and politicians are brought
in to answer student's questions.
