The document discusses several key aspects of 21st century education. It emphasizes that education should be student-centered, collaborative, and provide real-world context. Technology allows for constant access to information and interaction, and should be used comprehensively to develop 21st century skills like problem solving. The role of the teacher is to provide guidance and help students see how the skills they learn can be applied.

2. • The term “21st century” has become the central part of
educational thinking and planning for the future, and the
educational system has been evolving faster than ever
before.
• Creating a competitive world- a world with plenty of
opportunities for highly skilled individuals and limited
options for everyone else.

3. Globalizations has opened up the world and allowed
people to connect in new and exciting ways:
1. Instructions should be student-centered
The days of lecturing teachers has passed – though
not entirely. While student-centered learning is strongly
encouraged in the 21st century, this does not mean that the
teacher can never give a lecture again. Education is no
longer about listening to the teacher talk and absorbing the
information.

4. 2. Education should be collaborative
Students must learn hoe to collaborate with others.
Society today has people collaborating across the globe.
How can students be expected to work with people from
other cultures, with different values from their own. If they
are not able to work with the people they see each day in
their classroom? Students should be encouraged to work
together to discover information, piece it together, and
construct meaning. Collaboration should also be dynamic.
Students should learn how to recognize the different
strengths and talents each person can bring to a project,
and change roles depending on those attributes.

5. 3. Learning should have context
Student-centered does not mean that the teacher
gives up all control of the classroom. While students are
encouraged to learn in different ways, the teacher still
provides guidance as to the skills need to be acquired. The
teacher can make a point of helping students to understand
how the skills they are building can be applied in their lives.
Students will be much more motivated to learn something
that they can see the value in. since we are no longer
preparing students for specific tasks and roles, we need to
take a more general approach and teach them the skills
that are useful in any situation. Lessons have little purpose
if they do not have any impact in a student’s life outside of
the school.

6. The Role of Technology in 21st Century Learning
• Technology allows for 24/7 access to information
• Constant social interaction, and
• Easily created and shared digital content.

7. 1) Use technology comprehensively to develop
proficiency in 21st century skills.
• Knowledge of core content is necessary, but no longer
sufficient, for success in a competitive world. Even if all
students mastered core academic subjects, they still would
be woefully underprepared to succeed in postsecondary
institutions and workplaces, which increasingly value people
who can use their knowledge to communicate, collaborate,
Analyze, create, innovate and solve problems. Used
comprehensively, technology helps students develop 21st
century skills.

8. 2) Use technology comprehensive to support
innovative teaching and learning.
• To keep pace with changing world, schools need to offer
more rigorous, relevant and engaging opportunities for
students to learn – and to apply their knowledge and skills in
meaningful ways. Used comprehensively, technology
supports new, research-based approaches and promising
practices in teaching and learning.

9. 3) Use technology comprehensive to create robust
education support systems.
• To be effective in schools and classrooms, teachers and
administrators need training, tools and proficiency in 21st
century skills themselves. Used comprehensively, technology
transforms standards and assessments, curriculum and
instruction, professional development, learning
environments, and administration.

10. 1. Improvement of Teaching
• Educational Technology analyses the process of teaching
thoroughly. It tries to find out the different variables of teaching
their interlinks, effects upon each other, relationships, theories
of teaching, phases of teaching, principles of teaching, maxims
of teaching, etc. By developing the theories of teaching, it helps
in improving the quality of education.
2. Analysis of the Teaching-Learning Process
• Educational Technology aims at analyzing the process of teaching-
learning thoroughly. It tries to find out the different variables of
teaching their interlinks effects upon each other, relationship etc. It
is also evaluated by it. Over all, it tries to establish better
relationship between teaching and learning.

11. 3. Improvement of Learning
• Educational Technology analyses the process of learning and the
related theories. It facilitates more and more of learning in less
time. It takes the help of various empirically established
generalizations from, psychology, physical sciences,
engineering, etc.
4. Enhancing Goals of Education
• The objectives of education are being reviewed and revised with
the passage of time. Educational technology helps in finding out
the right objectives. Everything in this universe is undergoing
tremendous changes and with a very fast speed. Educational
Technology helps in enhancing the right objectives in the light of
the changed circumstances and changed environment.
5. Training to Teachers
• The changed type of environment with new curriculum and new
materials is to be handled by the teachers. Right type of training
to the teachers is the need of the hour. Educational Technology
can render its valuable help in the training of teachers also.

12. 6. Development of Curriculum
• Keeping on view the objectives of education, which have been
finalized by education technology thereafter, comes the question
of developing right type of curriculum. Only a suitable type of
curriculum will help in the attainment of goals.
7. Development of Teaching-Learning Materials
• Teaching-learning materials are also as important as anything
else in the teaching-learning process. They have to be in
accordance with the environment of the learners. In this age of
science and technology, the materials of teaching cannot be
unscientific.
8. Teaching-Learning Strategies
• A strategy plays an important role in the hands of a teacher in
every teaching-learning situation. The strategy has to be the right
one, which should be according to the materials and is able to
bring about effective teaching learning. The different strategies
are being evolved educational technology. The knowledge of
those strategies is a must for every teacher.

13. 9. Development of Audio-Visual Aids
• Audio-Visual aids have always played an important role in the
teaching-learning process. They need to be used according to the
times. The software aids, the hardware aids, the computer and
other such appliances, equipment, etc., have to be used in the
present type of teaching-learning environment.
• Computer assisted instructions will help the learner as well as the
teacher to achieve the goals of education more conveniently.
10.Help in Overall Improvement
• Educational technology helps in locating the problems in the
different areas of education. It also helps I remedying the draw-
backs. Evaluation of the teaching-learning process is also made
better because through feedback, things are improved thoroughly
and there is better control over the process of education. Thus,
educational technology can revolutionize the whole process of
teaching-learning.

14. 11.Identification of Needs of the Community
• Educational Technology identifies the needs of the community. It
helps in providing equal education opportunities to backward
people, disadvantaged students and deprived sections of the
society. Educational Technology aims at identifying the needs of
the community from time to time. Then it tries to improve the
community in every possible way.
