Riverside Secondary School, is an institutions that adopted the 21st century methodology that integrates technology, helpful tutoring and autonomous learning.
All the classes are developed with techonological devices in wich students reseach about what they want to learn, how to learn it. The adavantges are that they can be in contact with experts from all the educational fields. To illustrate this point, this school uses platform like: Google hangout to contact Tayna Harrison, a scientist, so students could interact with her, aske her some questions. This motivates students to teak eth controll of their learning process. Another important point is that they can contact organizations from industries that teach them many practial things. This video is important becuase made me refelct about the colombia context. Although in the schools in Colombia there are not many techonological resources like these, we can use them few times but significantly.

In Alberta, a Canadian province, Moving Forward with High School Redesign has been launched as a province-wide initiative which focuses on achieving 3 outcomes namely, engaged students, high levels of achievement and quality teaching. However, while obtaining high levels of achievement is important, it should not be the main focus of education. What we are trying to provide for students should be a holistic education that helps to hone both their soft skills and intellectuals. Instead of simply focusing on allowing students to obtain excellent results, I believe that it is more important to prepare them and teach them skills sets that they would require in their future jobs or even day-to-day lives. Simply being “book-smart” is not enough anymore, in this technological advancing society where artificial intelligence (AI) could easily take over our spot in society. We have to be equipped with something that sets us apart from these AI and something that ensures our relevance in society. Therefore, it is vital that schools focus on both intellectual and holistic development in order to prepare students before they enter the harsh society.
