What Differs 21st Century Learning From 20th Century Learning?

One of the biggest differences between the 20th century and 21st century is clearly technological development. This development has enabled us to make progress in almost every field. Education is one of those fields. What does that technological development include? The answer is the Internet. It serves endless knowledge to us. Access to knowledge has always been possible but it was never as fast as now. We can learn almost everything we want in seconds. The technology and internet not only provide information but also provide communication opportunities to us. We can speak with people living thousands of miles away and we can collaborate with them. Some teachers and institutes have utilized this feature by recording and sharing their lectures. Students can join courses online, if they want. In 2020, because of Covid-19 pandemic, online learning was not an option, it was an obligation. After a few classes some teachers and students didn’t find lessons effective. We saw that education is not just lecturing. The internet is also important for students to explore different things, perspectives etc.. Before it, students were able to know only what their teacher gave. The internet and advancing technology has played a big role in the development of learning as well as almost everything today.

It can be concluded from their statements that they want to be richer. Only few answered the question in terms of spirituality. This was predictable for us anyway. When we asked the question, some of them hesitated because they hadn’t thought about this before. However, some of them are so confident that I am sure they will be where they want to be. During the preparation phase, we had difficulties finding a topic. We wanted to find a question that everybody can answer. The participants answered questions willingly and maybe this question gave them some target. I c...

CREATING A POSTER

My teacher asked me to create a movie poster based on the book I read. I chose Rainbow Six from Tom Clancy which is a techno-thriller novel. There are a few video games based on that book which I like to play so much but there is not any movie which has been filmed yet, I hope one day it will be filmed because some of the books in the series were filmed. As recommended, I used postermywall to create my imaginary movie poster. You don't need to be a graphic designer to make poster thanks to this website. It is really easy to create posters in this website. You can adjust almost every detail. It also very entartaining to create a poster, especially if you do it for your one of your favourite books. This task develops imagination so I find it very logical to give students such a task. As a similar task I can ask my students to create an album cover. This album should include their favourite songs and has an overall concept.
