A Look Inside the Classroom of the Future

To educate students for 21st-century careers, educators should be using real-world case studies, embracing complexity, practicing empathy, integrating technology, and encouraging reflection.

rodrick rajive lal's insight:

The classroom of the future is not just about the technology we use, but it is also about creating relevance to what is being taught, by making the topic contextually relevant to life. We are also talking about creating a culture of empathy and respect, which unfortunately seems to be given less importance these days. Also the classroom of the future will be about training ourselves to make best use of technology, as a support system, but not to surpass or overwhelm the the humanness of the students and teachers alike. Most important of all, the classroom of the future will be self-driven, and students and teachers will use technology responsibly.

Of course I agree integrating technology is key for the future of education and the work world.

I like this article for the way it states the obvious - Continued focus on rigorous goals, use of technology to enhance learning, and preparing students to be not just college ready, but career ready are some of the goals that I feel are in sync with our aspirations for K-12 Education in 2014. Yes, and I very strongly believe that 2015 will be about promoting the concept of BYOD, especially in the form of Tablet P.Cs. The Akash tablet manufactured by Ubislat was once introduced in some of the Government schools in India, it was ahead its times! According to this article, 2015 will also about investing in the person, the teacher who personalises the process of teaching!
