What is a 21st Century Classroom?

• It is a classroom that uses the latest
  technology from projector screens, to
  audio-visual equipment, computers,
  notebook/laptops for each student in the
  classroom, to create a technology based
  educational learning environment, that
  encompasses all curriculum material.
• An environment that transcends all other
  traditional classroom environments.

Who are our 21st Century Teachers?

• They are you and me. They are the teachers you
  work with everyday. Those that want to find that
  special tool, that one strategy, that will be the
  ground breaker, the aha! for a struggling
  child.
• They are the teachers who use technology easily,
  and they are the teachers who are often times
  afraid of the unknown, but willing to learn
  something new.

How can I incorporate 21st Century Learning into
my classroom?

• Open yourself up to new experiences.
• Remember that we have children who learn and
  experience in different ways.
• Brainstorm ideas with your class, what
  possibilities there are with technology.
• Reach out to your colleagues when you want to
  learn something new, or even teach something you
  have learned.

Ideas for using technology in the classroom

• Online journaling or written reflections- after
  any activity, students reflect their experiences,
  what they would do differently, how they could
  improve.
• Vocabulary Content- online presentations, using
  the required vocabulary for a lesson in Math,
  Reading, Science, or Social Studies.
• Historical Power Point Presentations. Research
  skills, writing process, editing, and publishing.
• Publishers Material online. Using the Social
  Studies publishers material online, text book,
  quizzes, map reading, math, science.
• Other additional resources Web quests and Search
  Engines
