Our world is changing and in order to prepare our children for this new world we need to change the way we educate them. In the 21st century educators must create a curriculum that will help students connect with the world and understand the issues that our world faces.

Schools in the 21st century will become nerve centers, a place for teachers and students to connect with those around them and their community. Teachers in this new environment will become less instructors and more orchestrators of information, giving children the ability to turn knowledge into wisdom.

In order to educate in the 21st century, teachers and administrators need to cultivate and maintain the student's interest in the material by showing how this knowledge applies in the real world. They must also try to increase their student's curiosity, which will help them become lifelong learners. Next they should be flexible with how they teach and give learners the resources to continue learning outside of school.

Instruction must be student-centeredAlso called as Learner-centeredHelps develop autonomy and independence

among the learnerIt is based on constructivist learning theoryStudents connects their previous knowledge

with the new information they got to solve a certain problem

Believe that learner is also an important resource because he/she too knows something

Helps students learn how to learn on their own

More interactive classroomLearning is discovery, not the memorization

of facts

Education should be collaborative

Students should work together to discover information, piece it together and construct meaning

Collaboration should also be dynamic

Teach the students to respect each other differences

Schools should also collaborate to other educational institution to share information and learn about different practices and methods that have been developed

Learning should have contextTeacher can make a point in helping students to understand how the skills they are building can be applied in their lives. Students will be much more motivated to learn something that they can see the value in.Technology is considered a tool for learning which plays a very vital role in 21st century education. The following are the roles of technology in 21st education.
