21st Century Video Rankings

This video brings the changes that have taken place and the changes that are ahead of us. It begins describing how we can change the educational system to allow for greater and more efficient 21st century learning.

This video gets straight to the fact of how important 21st century can be to literacy and how written communication is a thing of the past. It explains how students need to learn how to be able to communicate through the various new means of communication today.

This video show how students are actively engaged with technology and how they spend more time using technology. I liked how one of the facts was about writing 42 pages for a class but 500 emails. To me this shows that through 21st century learning, students are can be willing to produce a higher quality product than through typical means of learning.

This video explains how technology can be used in engaging ways to help students develop higher level thinking skills. It really brings to light the fact that students are already using the many different communication tools, teachers are just not bringing what students are already doing into the classroom.

This video explains how students are eager to be engaged in their learning and how 21st century learning can teach them to become critical thinkers, analyzers, etc. It really ought my attention when it said, "I wrote a story in my book, my teacher read it. I posted it online, 2000 people read it." This allows students to take pride in their completed projects knowing it can be seen by anyone in the world!

This video explains how 21st century skills are not just for the classroom but how it teaches the skills for socializing and playing. It also explains now formal and informal learning should work together to teach students 21st century skills.

The video shows how we must change our teaching practices or methods to meet the need of 21st century learners.

This video really makes you ask yourself are we paying attention to our students and meeting their needs through 21st century learning. Are we engaging them and are we really teaching them or having them memorize facts. I would not be surprised if some of these statistics went up if they were updated!

This video shows how fast the world can change so quickly and that education must change along with it.
