Description: The 21st-Century Classroom takes readers on an idea-expanding journey that reassesses many of the sacred tenets of schooling. With the premise that technology is a powerful catalyst for learning, chapters include explorations of the challenge of change in the school setting, how educators might develop their vision for a 21st-century education, and how learning is now happening differently. The author addresses what technology is driving student learning, multimedia and its impact on the written word, and learning through gaming. Common Core State Standards and assessments are discussed from the perspective of needed 21st-century skills, as well as how critical thinking skills are essential to our globalized learning environment.
