There is remarkable consensus among educators and business and policy leaders on one key conclusion: we need to bring what we teach and how we teach into the 21st century.
This interesting and interactive course will address this issue by discussing the skills students need to master in order to be successful in a globalized society. Educators will discuss: engaging instructional methods for teaching digital natives, 21st century skills we will be teaching digital natives, and how educators can address the needs of the millennial generation of students.
Selected excerpts from "The World is Flat," "A Whole New Mind," and "Millennial´s Rising" will be shared and discussed to validate the course´s premise ~ educators must bring what we teach and how we teach into the 21st century.
