=What is a 21st century classroom?=

media type="custom" key="6529885"

I believe the 21st century classroom looks radically different from one from the 20th century. To emphasize this, I used a picture of a lizard shedding its old skin. It's a metaphor okay. Next, I emphasize further the difference between 21st and 20th century classrooms by showing a picture of burning books. Books were a primary teaching source in the 20th century and were central to education. I feel this will not be the case in the 21st century, hence the books are burnt to pave way for the future. Next, a picture of a lightning storm shows what I feel about the 21st century as a whole - it's in the midst of an electrifying technological innovation. The next picture shows the product of that innovation - computers; items I feel will become a mainstay in the classrooms of the 21st century. Lastly, I place a picture of what I feel the effects of technology will produce. The over reliance of technology will produce 'zombies', so to speak, students that will be unable to think independently, or unable to operate without any technology at their side...
