highly augmented with
technology that allows
kids to be one on one.
It’s like to have a play
time rather than to
have people sitting
around with a teacher
in front.

“Success in the 21st century requires knowing how
to learn. Students today will likely have several
careers in their lifetime. They must develop
strong critical thinking and interpersonal
communication skills in order to be successful
in an increasingly fluid, interconnected, and
complex world. Technology allows for 24/7
access to information, constant social
interaction, and easily created and shared
digital content.
In this setting, educators can leverage technology
to create an engaging and personalized
environment to meet the emerging educational
needs of this generation. No longer does
learning have to be one-size-fits-all or confined
to the classroom. The opportunities afforded by
technology should be used to re-imagine 21st-
century education, focusing on preparing
students to be learners for life.
