    INTRODUCTION

    In 21st Century Learning, students use educational technologies to apply knowledge to new
    situations, analyze information, collaborate, solve problems, and make decisions. Utilizing emerging
    technologies to provide expanded learning opportunities is critical to the success of future
    generations. Improved options and choice for students will help improve student completion and
    achievement.
    The inception of ICT is said to augment the development of professional networks of teachers,
    resource persons and schools to catalyse and support resource sharing, up gradation, and
    continuing education of teachers; guidance, counselling and academic support to students; and
    resource sharing, management and networking of school managers and administrators, resulting in
    improved efficiencies in the schooling process, research, evaluation and experimentation.
    The Role of Education in the 21st Century
    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.
    In order to educate in the 21st century, teachers and administrators need to cultivate and maintain
    the student's interest in the material by showing how this knowledge applies in the real world. They
    must also try to increase their student's curiosity, which will help them become lifelong learners.
    Next they should be flexible with how they teach and give learners the resources to continue
    learning outside of school.
    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


    In the ideal 21st century classroom, kids are actually excited about going to school, and there are
    little or no discipline problems because everyone is eager to learn. In this type of classroom
    activities and lessons are related to the community, whether local or global. Students collaborate
    with people from different schools and different countries to learn about issues that affect us all, as
    well as how we can solve them today and in the future.

    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.
    New schools in the 21st century will be bright and spacious, and kids will have room for group
    projects and individual assignments. Walls will be hung with student work, and there will be places
    for students to put on performances for their parents and members of the community. Students
    have full access to technology and, if possible, every student will have a laptop.
    Within the school there will be labs and learning centers, as well as studios for art, music, theatre,
    and so on. Each classroom will be equipped with a television so that all students can watch school
    productions and other school presentations.
    While it may take some time before schools and teachers are equipped to properly educate in the
    21st century once they are the results will be dramatic. Children will be engaged and eager to learn.
    In fact, they will carry on learning at home and over holidays, and they will have the resources they
    need to keep learning no matter where they are. This ability to foster a love of learning is truly the
    role of education in the 21st century.
