geographic area studying local phenomena can collaborate with peers doing similar work anywhere in
the world.

course online in a school that lacks the budget or a faculty member with the appropriate skills to teach
the course.

opportunities available in museums, libraries, and other out-of-school settings.

3. What are the two pillars of 21st century schools?

(a) Technology
 Technology can be a powerful tool for transforming learning. It can help affirm and advance
relationships between educators and students, reinvent our approaches to learning and
collaboration, shrink long-standing equity and accessibility gaps, and adapt learning experiences
to meet the needs of all learners.
 All learners will have engaging and empowering learning experiences in both formal and
informal settings that prepare them to be active, creative, knowledgeable, and ethical
participants in our globally connected society.
(b) One to one student approach of education not bound with time and place
 Teacher can plan personalized learning or experiences that are more engaging and relevant.
Mindful of the learning objectives, educators might design learning experiences that allow
students in a class to choose from a menu of learning experiences—writing essays, producing
media, building websites, collaborating with experts across the globe in data collection—
assessed via a common rubric to demonstrate their learning. For this purpose a teacher can use
technology-enabled learning experiences for more engaging and relevant to learners.
