No matter how far we evolve from the little red schoolhouse, we cannot afford to sacrifice the foundation of education that is built upon the unique relationship between teacher and student. Education is undergoing a "seismic change" as more and more digital devices enter the classroom. This article looks at the digital devices and at the teacher, stating "the motherboard and the memory chip will never replace the passion and inspiration of a real-life teacher." The article points out that for new technology to work teachers must be trained effectively in the new technology. Information on the replacement of traditional textbooks with digital textbooks is also discussed. Two school districts are mentioned that saw significant improvement with state testing scores (in specific subjects) with the introducation of digital textbooks. Based on the information presented it is clear that for digital content to work well teachers must be trained. Without the training the achievment gap will not be impacted.

What should the goals of gifted education be? Perhaps the goals of all education forall children... “Rather than portray the needs of gifted students as being unique, we suggest weaving them into the general education tapestry. To accomplish this, we would revise the chief goal of gifted education to be the chief goal of all education: to ensure that all students receive the education appropriate for them at any given time by maximizing the match between individual students’ educational experiences with their individual educational needs.” Via Beth Dichter Delete the scoop?

21st century education is about cultivating important skills such as critical thinking and digital skills.
There is now much more knowledge online than you would find in all libraries of the world taken together.
To tap into the potential of this vast repertoire of online resources, our learners need instruction on how to effectively use web search techniques to search for academic sources.
Practitioners need to teach them how to be independent learners.
Google Search Education has all the materials practitioners need to help their learners become skilled searchers, whether they are just starting out with search or ready for advanced training. (Flipped Classroom approach may be the answer to getting them all up to speed)

But collaboration is more than just co-operation; it can be used in the entire learning process, from the teacher teaching the class to the students educating one another.

What does it mean when you say 21st century learning? This post lists nine characteristics of 21st century learning and provides a rationale. What makes this notable is "the absence of technology. There is very little about iPads, social media, 1:10 laptops, or other tech-implementation. In that way, it is closer to the 'classic' approach to 'good learning' than it is the full-on digital fare we often explore." The nine characteristics are in the diagram above and listed below: Learner-centered, Media-driven, Personalized, Tranfer-by-Design, Visibly Relevant, Data-Rich, Adaptable, Interdependent and Diverse.
