We wanted to talk about education in the 21st century
We are currently experiencing a revolution in education.
The rate of change is unbelievable.
Schools, regions, and entire nations are fundamentally rethinking education and redefining student and teacher experiences.
Millions of children and their families worldwide feel the effect.
Let's take a moment to consider their environment.
It's hard to understand in a world with so much knowledge.
Every hour, 2,000 new websites are created by individuals.
Every minute, they upload 35 hours of video.
as well as watching 2 billion videos on YouTube each day.
Teenagers at school have an average of nearly 1,000 Facebook friends when they leave.
As if they were sitting in the same room, they communicate with people thousands of miles away.
Information is consumed, produced, and communicated in previously unimaginable ways by them.
They are, in fact, the offspring of a globalized society.
And where will they end up as they get older?
to a world that is extremely connected and has more people but fewer resources.
a world that is busy, competitive, and full of unknowns.
careers that span multiple jobs, positions, and skill sets, some of which have not yet been invented, as well as a workforce that is more mobile and better qualified than ever before
Leaders in education are responding by making significant changes, developing skills for the 21st century, utilizing enabling technologies, personalizing instruction, and engaging students in diverse and inventive ways.
In order for students in South Korea's schools to be able to study at any time and from any location, schools are converting to digital textbooks.
When taking exams, students in Denmark use the internet.
As long as they don't message each other or use email, they can access any website they want, including Facebook.
Students can set their own schedules in the United States thanks to ultra-personalized learning methods.
Daily records of their interest and performance are used to create learning playlists.
allowing teachers more time to supervise and mentor students.
Learning can occur virtually anywhere.
Because of this, some Australian schools are making internships with local organizations a crucial part of each student's learning plan and pushing learning beyond the walls of the classroom.
To help seriously disengaged students rediscover their love of learning, distance learning programs connect them with personal mentors and online learning communities.
There are numerous opportunities for education in the 21st century.
These examples show how to make sure that the workers, parents, and citizens of tomorrow are better communicators, more creative problem solvers, and lifelong learners.
We need to make significant adjustments in order to guarantee massive change.
As a result, we created the new Australian curriculum online with interactive, frequently updated digital resources tailored to the requirements of teachers and students.
National professional standards for teachers and principals ensure that they meet the needs of students of the 21st century, and that's just the beginning. Join us as we expand this discussion and connect pioneers in education.
