ReplyDeleteI think that assessment is an important part of educations growing with time. Standardized testing shows in which areas learners are improving and where improvement is still required in order for the educational system to be assessed by itself and made more effective and efficient. A 21st century curriculum should include twenty-first century methods of education don’t you say?—computers, netbooks, networks or even iPads.—to assist leaners in learning to use the technology through using it. Hands-on learning lean towards being richer and last longer.
You mention that in this 21st century, we will be "striving for a greener life style"...do you think that the rate of technological change will allow for a greener lifestyle (i.e. more digital, less paper-based) or do you think that we (human beings) will simply find new ways of harming the environment through e-waste? Just a thought...
