The document discusses the roles and functions of educational technology in 21st century education. It states that in order to prepare students for the changing world, the way we educate them must also change. Teachers need to cultivate students' interests by showing how course material applies to real life, increase curiosity to create lifelong learners, and provide flexible learning resources outside the classroom. Important 21st century skills include collaboration, critical thinking, oral and written communication, technology use, civic/global issues examination, research abilities, and career awareness. The curriculum incorporates these through project-based and multimedia lessons to engage students and foster a love of learning.
