21st century learning

                  21st Century Learning
We all wonder about the future; what we'll be, what we'll look like and who will be in our lives. We all hope the future is bright for us and that the rest of our lives will be everything we've hoped for, but what we don't think about allot for the future is education. What will students learn? How will they use that knowledge? What will they do to use that knowledge for our future? In this blog I will talk about a specific part of 21st century learning which is, curiosity and imagination.

I think that curiosity and imagination are very important because the most amazing inventions in life and well everything in life were made by those two very important learning skills. Being curious can mean just wondering about things, like how can we improve education in the future? Why is education how it is now? Is education working the way it is now? Being imaginative can mean that you are good at coming up with new ideas. These two  learning skills are important for students to have and help so much with reading, writing and arts. I think a way to encourage curiosity and imagination in a 21st century classroom is to have something called an " Input bin" students can put their questions or ideas in the input pin and their teacher can answer their questions or try to add their ideas into their lessons.
