The idea that changes must be made in order to incorporate new technologies to better prepare students for the workplace and to essentially create better employees is something I have never thought about before. I had never thought about what happens when the natural resources run out and what my influence as a student teacher might be. It is VERY exciting to me that I will be able to help influence successful individuals of the 21st century. However, because of the vast amount of implications this entails I also feel a great deal of nervousness and anxiety approach my first practicum. As student teacher it seems we have countless ideas and strategies to implements through lesson planning, learning activities, assessment strategies and so on. While maintaining all of the previously mentioned information we have to make sure we are incorporating strategies to effective encourage the success of 21st century learners. With this comes a great responsibility. However, I personally feel that if we continually strive to implement students with life long learning techniques we will be implementing strategies that coincide with 21st century learner ideals.
I think we as teachers always have to remember and embrace this ideal of the 21st century learner. As teachers we are shaping students for the future so it should always be incorporated into everything we say and do to and for our students. That's just my personal opinion and something I would like to learn how to effectively integrated into my classroom.
The question now is....because we are influences what strategies can we use to handle the responsibilities ??
