WHAT ARE 21ST CENTURY SKILLS?

Everybody seems to be talking about learning 21st century skills, but what does it all mean for the classroom teacher who needs better technology in education and more resources for tomorrow's mathematics or history lesson? Concerned about preparing today's children for tomorrow's world, the Partnership for 21st Century Skills and International Society for Technology in Education have drafted frameworks and guidelines that outline what our students need to know to meet the challenges of the modern age. Mastery of core content areas, such as language Arts (including English language arts, reading, Spanish, etc....), mathematics, science and history, remains the centerpiece. But these two organizations emphasize the importance of cultivating interdisciplinary themes, such as global awareness and financial, civic and health literacy's, and weaving key skill areas (creativity and innovation, communication and collaboration, research and information fluency, and critical thinking, problem solving and decision making) into core subject matter.

Technology in the field of education can be a powerful tool. The Importance Of Technology In Education Info graphic presents 5 benefits of technology in education:

Future Oriented: The future is all about technology and multi-screening. Education can’t lag behind.Learning Becomes Interesting: It engages and challenges students with brand new and interactive methods.Improves Skills: digital learning, communication, collaboration, building teams, mobile learning, listening, planning, valuing diversity, problem solving, self direction, global awareness, social, presentations.Increases Collaboration: Students can work and collaborate with people in other locations. Distance learners can join online communities.Reduces Weight: Instead of carrying lots of books, students just carry a laptop, a tablet or a mouse which contain all their books and projects.

TECHNOLOGY is a big help for the students, especially in researching their assignments.

TECHNOLOGY makes the students life easier.

TECHNOLOGY is useful to the students to engage new ideas and explore new things.

TECHNOLOGY is a big part of the students in their daily life.

TECHNOLOGY is important to the students in developing their critical thinking.

TECHNOLOGY allows the students to be more creative in doing document files.

TECHNOLOGY helps the students developing new skills and grasping an understanding of how things work.

TECHNOLOGY can provide students with a wealth of information and knowledge.

The use of technology in schools Technology is an increasingly important aspect of modern school life and

has dramatically changed the way teachers and students go about their daily activities.

“Computer technology”

For childrenFor children, computer technology has provided an indescribable wealth of

resources, information and knowledge; since the introduction of the internet, students are now able to access information on whatever subject they want, wherever they want. Resources include journals, articles, e-books, practice tests and examinations, model answers and research findings. Research has also suggested that computer technology has helped students to improve their grades in other subjects, most notably science. Practically, students can work much faster using a computer which enables them to do more study in the same period of time.

For staff

Computer technology has enabled teachers to make their lessons more interactive and therefore more interesting and rewarding; this method has also been shown to improve pupil performance as lessons are more memorable and therefore students are able to retain information more effectively. Teachers, like students, can also find a whole host of resources on the internet which can provide inspiration and advice for classes; teachers are also able to recommend good resources to student to further encourage and stimulate their learning.

“Practical improvements”

Computer technology has enabled systems of obtaining and recording information much more efficient and effective; computer records are much harder to misplace than realms of paper records. Additional changes such as submission of work via email and responding to enquiries online save time and energy.

Media technologyIn addition to computers, many schools and colleges are using new methods of technology to enhance

the learning experience; these include digital television channels, DVDs, digital radio and sophisticated forms of communication technology. Digital radio and television allow students to access a wealth of different channels which cover a vast range of different subjects including languages, science, history and geography to name just a few. Children are used to new technology as they have grown up with it; it is therefore undoubtedly beneficial that they have the option to use it to increase their learning capacity and pursue their interests. Educational programmers and podcasts are now widely available to download to your computer or MP3 player; this makes education more modern and multi-faceted.

Scientific technologyScience and technology are closely linked and often become intertwined. In schools, new technology

can help students to understand science and make ideas that were previously banished to the pages of books, a visible or tangible reality. Technology undoubtedly makes the learning process more interactive and therefore more interesting and memorable. Research has also shown a positive correlation between computer technology and better results in scientific subjects. Technology in constantly evolving which means that we are able to understand more; this is also true in schools where students are able to access the newest technology to explore new concepts and ideas.

The importance of technology in education is useful in daily life especially in the hands of the teachers and the students. This improving the learning's strategy to the students in exploring new information through the computer. Technology can be a bane also if some students will abused by using it, like for example; instead of go to the library and search the book to find the answers, they will automatically depend on researching to the computer by not analyzing and reading the information and they copy-paste it by not understanding of what they research as long as they have an answers that given.

How important is technology in education?

The world is changing, and sometimes it probably seems you're in a race to catch up. The latest technology probably takes a chunk out of your yearly budget, and then you have to reeducate yourself about how to do things in new and different ways -- like how to turn the flat screen on and off or set the programmable timer on your HVAC system. Sure, technology is neat. It can make it easy to video conference with your associates in Tokyo or read the headlines on your tablet while Web surfing at your favorite java joint. You can bank, shop, research your medical symptoms and get free legal advice all online. You can use technology to plot your driving route to Disney World, complete with turn-by-turn verbal instructions. If driving is too much of a hassle, you can investigate the best airline deals and accommodations with a click of your trusty mouse. And these are just a few of the more straightforward things technology can do to make your life easier. You may be concerned about the collateral damage caused by technology, like loss of privacy, but like a rushing tide, technological advancements are always coming -- and they're coming fast. From the development of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) to nanotechnology that may make it possible to cure a disease using microscopic machines that operate like mini-medics inside the human body, technology impacts so many areas of modern life that it's impossible to ignore. Using it as a teaching tool and also making it a topic of study in schools is an important feature of a comprehensive, broad-based education. Like reading, writing and math, technology is fundamental.
