21 Century Learners

21 Century Learners learn in a much more broad capacity than their parents. Texts which were once linear now come to life, link to further information, and are vibrant and often animated.  The learning curve has drastically changed, and now our students are often teaching us.  Students are learning and teaching others in ways never thought. They are learning based on inquiry and prior knowledge, and using those tools to teach each other. It has created active and interactive classrooms that are ever-evolving.  Classrooms are now filled with laptops, smartboards, flat screen tvs, mimeos, all of which are learning tools that allow students to become 21st century learners; learners that are progressive and engaged.
