Reflection for 21 st Century Education

Before this class I never really thought about 21st century education or how it

can be different to teaching in other generations. I have learned there is a big

difference. Future educators are told how they need to use technology in the

classroom to help keep the students more interested or use critical thinking. The

role my group and I did was language and how it can help 21st century learning.

Language neither plays a huge role because the world is globalizing and English is

not the first nor second most used language anymore. Originally when we started

this project we only thought about language and that was it. How can language be

taught with 21st century technology? When soon realized it goes more into depth

than that. We had to improve our presentation PowerPoint and the idea behind the

project because we didn’t think about the other aspects of learning a language.

Another important aspect is learning about the culture and customs people have

that use that language as their native language. Children need to be taught more

about this subject all around. I am glad I hit gold when Harold asked us what else

language could do for a students education. I am starting to understand more what

is means to be a teacher and how teaching what needs to be taught is not just in the

textbook.
