Can you list two specific points?

I am so happy to see that student must become active learnings and teachers must be removed from the stage. I am sure we can all remember the teacher that just talked the whole class and bored us out of our minds!!! Twenty-first Century tools will address this change because students are active learners and they are very engaged in their learning.

Over the past 12 years, it has decreased dramatically. This has made it necessary in the classroom to change my approach in the classroom. Now, instead of direct teaching for 30 minutes or more, I must do any direct teaching in smaller increments in order to maintain to their attention. Another big change i have had to make is in the use of technology, which is limited in my school. Children have become fast-paced, visual learners. Teaching today must reflect that.

However the needs of the students have changed. Preparing students for the work force where technology is immersed in everyday tasks, we as educators should be able to guide and assist students to perform. 21st Century tools can help this change in students needs by preparing them to be reflective life long learners.

For many teachers who have been in the profession for many years, the idea of learning new technology seems daunting and all too time-consuming. It's much easier to use what is comfortable and familiar. I don’t believe teaching has changed.

To move away from the Sage on the Stage model of teaching, technology tools can, if used properly, can help prepare students for careers of the future and the need they will have to be "self educators".
