The 21 st
Century
Learner
“ In the age of Info – whelm,
students are bombarded by
information 24/ 7. Shrewd triage
becomes an imperative. Those
who develop a synthesizing mind
will rise to the top.
Synthesizing is not a one-time
process. New information must be
acquired, probed, evaluated,
followed up with, or sidelined…
there is constant reflection and
tinkering
Good synthesizers always keep
an eye on the big picture while
securing and arranging the
smaller details in useful ways; one
must know what works for oneself
and for those who make use of
their synthesis
We must help our students learn
to make use of information and
media in meaningful ways.”
Embarking on this technology – propelled age
requires one to think deeply about any
emerging issue, solve problems creatively,
collaborate with a team, communicate clearly,
learn fast –changing technologies, and deal
with overwhelming information.
 “Education, as the primary avenue, focuses on the
development and use of skills such as critical thinking and
problem-solving, written and oral communication,
collaboration, creativity and innovation. These skills are
imperative for every learner to cultivate to be able to survive
today’s world.” McLeod (2010
