Roles and Functions of Educational Technology in the

21st Century Education

Instruction Should be student –centered

-The days of lecturing teachers has passed-though not entirely. While student-centered learning is strongly encouraged in the 21st century, this does not mean that the teacher can never give a lecture again.Education is no longer about listening to the teacher talk and absorbing the information.In order to contribute to society, students will need to be able to acquire new information as problems arise.

Instruction should be student –centered

Education should be collaborative

• Students must learn how to collaborate with others.Society today has people collaborating across the globe.How can students be expected to work with people from other cultures,with different values from their own,if they are not able to work with the people they see each day in their classroom?Students should be encouraged to work together to discover information,piece it together and construct meaning.Collaboration should also be dynamic.Students should learn how to recognize the different strengths and talents each person can bring to a project and change roles depending on those attributes.

Education should be collaborative

Learning should have context

-Student –centered does not mean that the teacher gives up all control of the classroom.While students are encouraged to learn in different ways,the teacher still provides guidance as to the skills that need to be acquired.The teacher can make a point of helping students to understand how the skills they are building can be applied in their lives.

-Students will be much more motivated to learn something that they can see the value in.

The Role of Technology in 21st Century Learning: 1. Technology allows 24/7 access to information. 2. Constant social interaction,and 3.Easily created and shared digital content.

Learning should have context

Use technology Comprehensively to develop

proficiency in 21st century skills. -knowledge of core content is

necessarily, but no longer sufficient, for success in a competitive world.

- Even if all students mastered core academic subjects, they still would be woefully underprepared to succeed in postsecondary institutions and workplaces, which increasingly value people who can use their knowledge to communicate, collaborate, analyze, create, innovate and solve problems.
