21th Century Learning

Throughout the centuries mankind has always been in search of knowledge. The only thing that has changed from the beginning is the methods of this search, which we can call learning. With the advent of the internet people had started to interact with each other frequently, which resulted in share of knowledge and information. This lead people to use the internet, world wide web, to gain knowledge from A to Z. Unlike the old times when there was no internet, learning is aided with technology, and this technology involvement requires some elements which a learner has to have. The picture above is a statue named "The Thinker" it represents thoughts and thinking. We should also be thinking about the skills that we need to adapt this new 21th century and how can we learn in this century. Lets explain some of these 12th century skills.

We need to have literacy in many aspects to be an eligible learner. Media-literacy, mathematics-literacy etc.

We need to be able to work in a group rather than individually, which also requires collaboration. We should actively use the technology, but it should be taken into account that we also have to use technology if it's efficient and suitable for the situation. We should not use technology just for the sake of using it.We should be able to think creatively.
