Embracing the change!!

In today's world, students need 21st-century skills like critical thinking, communication, creativity, problem-solving, perseverance, collaboration, information and digital literacy, global awareness, and innovation skills. Schools must integrate these skills into their curriculum to prepare students for success.

Using technology in the classroom is very important these days. But it can be tough for some teachers, especially if they're not used to it. That's where these cool guidelines come in handy.

If you want to use tech in class like a boss, check out these tips: First, give it a go yourself so you know what's up. Then, ask your students what they think about it. Keep their parents in the loop about the tech and how it helps. Make things more fun with online games and interactive lessons. Teach your fellow teachers how to use the tech like a pro. And don't forget to teach your students how to be smart and responsible with digital media.

In the past, the education system placed a heavy emphasis on memorization and gave teachers complete control over their students, leaving little room for independence. As a result, trust between teachers and students eroded over time. However, today's education system prioritizes achieving objectives, encouraging active participation and collaboration among students, while teachers act as facilitators and mentors. This new approach aligns the curriculum with students' interests, experiences, and real-world scenarios, creating a more informative and practical learning environment. Overall, the current education system is more student-centric, empowering students to take ownership of their learning journey and providing them with the skills and knowledge necessary for success in the real world.Learning nowadays has become quite a task. Although we have access to lots of resources, it's still hard to have a comfortable and happy learning experience. The education and classroom systems we have today were created more than a century ago, when technology wasn't even a thing. Recently, I watched a video where the presenter visited 60 schools and none of them met their expectations. Why? It's simple: change is tough, especially when it comes to changing a system that's been around for over a century. Teachers and parents find it challenging to bring about change without adequate resources. The system expects a lot but doesn't provide enough support. It's up to us to be the agents of change and start taking action in our environment and motivate others to follow us.
