The+21st+Century+Classroom

= Thoughts on the 21st Century Classroom =

1. The gentleman in the second clip pointed out that most of us are visual learners, but what facinated me was that he just talked to us. 2. Many focused on the visuals behind the speaker, but that he was blocknng them...impeding the visula learners ability to make theconnection to what he was saying and what we were seeing. 3. Adora was given the opportunity to grow at her own rate, access what interested her. 4. We were shocked that today's learners are able to remember only 10% of what they are tought without visuals. 5. The second video showed how the brains of 21st century learners are different than the learners of just a few years ago.
