What do I think a 21st century classroom looks like?
-I think in a 21st century classroom one will see various forms of technology throughout the classroom. From the uses of computers, or even Ipads in some schools, to whiteboards in front of the classroom. Children will be emersed in understanding, comprehending, and understanding math and reading. Besides the teacher helping them with this, there will be many books around the room, and fun computer games students can play to master these skills. During the day i would expect to see various stations and centers set up throughout the room so the students have a more hands-on approach to learning the material. The teacher will also be very hands on with student learning.With curriculum and state testing becoming more and more emphasized as the only focus in school certain hours will be blocked off for the focus of math and reading, and little time set aside for history, science, geography ect...Every classroom you walk into will be different from the next but these are just a few things I believe one can see when stepping foot inside a 21st century classroom.
I completely agree with technology being used more and more in the classroom. I like how you said that all classrooms will be unique. Unfortunately I also think state testing will still be driving the curriculum and put a lot of focus on those subjects.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that there will be many electronic through the classroom like computers. Although I do believe sadly books will no longer be. I will love to have centers and stations just like you.
ReplyDeleteI too entirely agree to the increasing use of technology within the classrooms today. From what I've seen though through my experiences, classrooms are beginning to deviate from the traditional instruction via teacher and textbook and lean more towards student-centered, research-based education.
ReplyDeleteI agree as well. I never thought about the centers and how big they have become in the classroom. It's one area of education I have not explored a whole lot and definitely agree that it is something we will be seeing and need to have a good grasp on!
