Gen Z - 21st Century Learners & Technology

Hello my future colleagues, today we will be discussing about 21st century learning & technology. 

Think about your parents. Although you have a lot in common, you also have many differences with them, and by generalizing, I can say that most of these differences are due to generational differences. Each generation's people have different features and skills, so their learning methods are different from each other. Us future teachers have to keep up with recent methods and techniques while studying with our students and while doing this, technology will be our biggest helper and support.

So what is 21st century learning? We can briefly say that it is a learning model which is student-centered. Learners play the bigger role in the 21st century learning. There are some skills that a 21st century learner must have. Some of these skills are critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, digital literacy, creativity and having a great communication with others. Besides the learner, the teacher must have some features too. 21^st century learning features are also important for language teaching since language learning also requires communication skills. Technology is greatly integrated in education in 21^st century. Both teacher and students must use technology well. It is also important to use technology in classroom to draw students’ attention and also it will be much more easier for students to understand the lesson.

You can share your ideas and we can discuss about them in the comments. See you all!
