Youtube is the second largest search engine in the world and growing. In my studies I have discovered some powerful Youtube clips that have enhanced my understanding of working as a 21st Century Educator
21st Century Learning is a snapshot of what the future has in store and summarises the needs of a 21st Century learner
The Australian Institute of Teaching and School Leadership produced this brief overview of 21st Century Education and how it will impact on teachers and students.
“21:21 is a documentary film produced by 21 Foundation to highlight the urgent need for the adoption of 21st century learning methods.
In the film, which was shot in schools in 9 countries, Learning Activist and 21 Foundation founder Patrick Newell highlights the problems with traditional teaching techniques, before introducing a number of fundamental elements of 21st century leaning – and demonstrating the positive effect that they have upon learners from all backgrounds.”
The clip is quite long but it is worth watching how empowered and inspired the students are when they are in charge of their learning. There are many examples of discourse that I envision would be used by an”Ideal Teacher” and also tasks that could be inspirational tasks for an ePortfolio.
