a 21st century interactive learning environment. Today’s students have grown up in a world in living colour, fast moving, fast talking, fading in and out, and remote controlled.Technology is moving rapidly and it is crucial for schools and companies to keep up in order to offer the highest standard of learning and training to their pupils or employees. Integrated classroom systems are helping teachers to engage, motivate and assess their students and learners. Research reinforces that assessment for learning is a key factor in the success of educational initiatives and can develop teachers’ professional understanding about the processes of learning and how to motivate all students. Today’s classroom needs interactive whiteboard technology, appropriate software and the facility to conduct formative and summative assessments easily - via a personal response or ‘voting’ system.

A modern-day declaration of where things stand for educators in a social-media saturated world yet to fully hit our schools.
Today’s teacher has to possess many more skills than a teacher of our previous century. The teachers of today have to be highly-qualified educators, parental figures, master communicators, engaging presenters, expert trainers, sages, technophiles, data analysts, sales people and much more.

Writing knols can give authors great pleasure, particularly when they are given all the modern printing and publishing media tools that are available on Knol. These powerful tools help your articles stand out from the crowd. Many of Knol's top authors combine all these 21st century publishing elements offered on Knol to produce many varied, innovative and outstanding knols.

Learn how your work can benefit from applying all the possibilities of the Google Knol platform and maybe you too will come to love Knol as much as we do.

Learning in the 21st century GOLD DUST is a 21st century textbook, interdisciplinary and interactive that grows with knowledge like a living organism and constantly renews and reinvents itself. It works on the basis of the "Papillon"-method - a new building block for learning in the networked world. The completely new self-learning method is a combination of grand adventure, multimedia effects and global learning. Students can see our world in a global context. They acquire the key skill networked thinking and learn on the latest state of knowledge. The GOLD DUST story is the merging of imagination and scientific facts and allows a 3-dimensional view on the recommended topical focus.

Your Assignment, Should You Choose to Accept It . . .
Like Alice, many educators, policy makers and even the general public respond resoundingly with "That's impossible!" when challenged to adopt a new paradigm of education for the 21st century. Most people today adhere to a paradigm of education that is strictly 19th century. But, like the Queen, a growing number of educators are believing in and accomplishing "the impossible".
Scott McLeod, in his blog, Dangerously Irrelevant, recently reminded us of a line from Mission Impossible, and we must apply that challenge to all of society. "Your assignment, should you choose to accept it" is to take education truly into the 21st century. It is not enough to say that we are already living there. Technically it is the 21st century, but our schools are not there, and our challenge now is to reinvent schools for the 21st century - for the sake of our children, our students and the welfare of our world. Making such a paradigm shift is not easy. After all, when any of us thinks of education, we usually think of what we knew as school - the way it has always been. That is how parents, policy makers, politicians and many students think of school. But we have to make the paradigm shift to 21st century education.
So what is 21st century education? It is bold. It breaks the mold. It is flexible, creative, challenging, and complex. It addresses a rapidly changing world filled with fantastic new problems as well as exciting new possibilities. Fortunately, there is a growing body of research supporting an increasing number of 21st century schools. We have living proof, inspiring examples to follow, in schools across the United States. These schools vary, but are united in the fundamentals of 21st century education - see Critical Attributes of 21st Century Education and Multiple Literacies for the 21st Century. Scott McLeod has issued the challenge of creating a plan to get us from "here" to "there".

Possible instructions for teachers on how they can work together with the learners... Knowing the tools for 21st Century Learning is primordial to give quality courses. Taking GOLD DUST as an good practice example who is an interdisciplinary and interactive 21st century textbook. It works on the basis of the "Papillon"-method- a new system of education on the basis of ancient wisdom and modern research. By using the "Papillon" method learners get a mix from structur (text of the virtual world) and freedom (Internet).
The preoccupation with key words (the penetration at the depth central themes) pays for itself in an acceleration of apprehension, and not only during school but for the entire life.
Particularly suitable for team- and project work. The role of the teacher is being transformed. He is providing the direction and ensures the point of reference while the Internet becomes the learning space and the student can work independently. The teacher will play the role of a coach...
Due to the switch between digital and traditional work methods, the productive capacity to reflect and the joy the students experience from experimentation as well as the ability to critically assess the media are stimulated and promoted. Unique learning success becomes possible in this sense by combining technical affinity and the desire to read.
