Technology for 21st Century Learning
No doubt you have heard about 21st Century Skills and the need for schools to change so that our students are prepared for a world that is very different to the one their parents and teachers grew up in. How can teachers respond to this challenge?

Schools have been subjected to many changes in recent decades, and technology has been a major contributor to the need for change. Despite this, schools have been criticized for not making fundamental changes to the "industrial model" of education that was developed more than 100 years ago.
This course looks at how information and communications technology, especially "web 2.0" tools can help us achieve the goals of 21st century learning and engage today's learners.
