21st century Education

1. TEACHERS

   • • They may resist learning about new technology.
     • Some Teachers feel intimidated by students’ knowledge of tools they do not understand.
   • Many of our teachers are not in line with the continuous change of Technology
     • This leads to resistance towards intergrating ICT in classroom
   • New technology takes them out of their comfort zones.
     • Technology requires teachers to play more of a facilitator role—rather than a more directive or authoritative one.
       • This new role conflicts with traditional teaching methods and requires teachers to step back and allow learning to happen without their hands-on direction.

2. LEARNERS

   • Learners of the 21st century are more computer literate than Teachers
     • they are introduced to ICT at a very early age because their parent or Family memebers have ICT devices
   • They like to be in control
     • Learners do not want to be bound by traditional schedules, and they do not necessarily want to sit in a classroom to learn or in an office to work.
       • They prefer to use technology for studying at any time of a day or night
