Where do I Stand in this 21st Century Learning

My 21^st Century Learning Experience

Being a technology teacher makes me special in this 21^st Century Learning era. I am so lucky because the course I teach is one a learning aid that can trigger and inspires the inquiry in learners. There are so many online resources that can accommodate to all learning styles and differentiation with my students. This week, which I have being exposed to a master’s course on Instructional Technology from the University of Buffalo, I have been able to confirm that learning goes beyond the classroom wall. That the old practices of wanting to have students relying on your own expertise and knowledge is old fashioned; when they can have access to numerous online sources on the net. I also have reflected on my responsibility and role of a teacher, which is a guide, or facilitate the student’s inquiry onto real problems to make their learning representative. Also that learning can happen with diverse applications and programs by sharing creations, teaching and sharing your expertise on any subject matter in all directions, teachers to teachers, peer to peers or interrelated. But most important of all that using technology to enhance learning is provoking new technologies which we have never imagined, like the 3D printers, mobile labs, clouds, social medias, among others; which will make our societies connect to solve new problems arising and specialize and gear careers to envision new devices, theories, objects, etc. to improve our world.
