Century using wide array of technological tools to assist them in exploring knowledge and

Teachers turn to become facilitators rather than lecturers and dispensers of information. As such,
curriculum is designed in a way that it connects to life in real world, interconnected with other
disciplines and reshapes the students’ holistic perspective (http://www.21st Century Schools.com/).
