Activity 6.2

Direction: Make a Reflection on the given issue. Your answer will be rated using the rubric below.

The Global learning village has changed and will keep on changing. As you prepare to become
the Teacher of the 21stCentury, how will you prepare for this rapid change?

As can be seen, traditional classrooms no longer meet the educational needs of the
21st century. As a result, we must make significant changes in order to build a
classroom that inspires students to learn. Today's teachers employ a variety of
pedagogical approaches and various instructional methods.

The 21st-century classroom should be a productive setting where students may

develop the skills they will need in the future, based on the reality that our
educational system is changing with the help of technology. Students should be
encouraged to enhance their higher-order thinking skills in modern 21st-century
classrooms. The new classroom should be outfitted with cutting-edge technology
that will assist students in achieving new objectives. The focus of the classroom in
the 21st century should be on the students. Instead of simply imparting knowledge,
we teachers are required to facilitate the learning process.

We should give special attention to classrooms for young students since they
should be a place where they feel cared for and secure. It should be a wonderful
location to be, with a gorgeous setting and a creative atmosphere. Different
teaching approaches must be used. We should take an active role in their
education and professional development.
