6 Channels Of 21st Century Learning

6 Channels Of 21st Century Learning | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
What is 21st century learning, and how do networks and technology function within it?
Beth Dichter's insight:

There are many ways we may look at 21st century learning and this post suggest that there are six channesl of learning. In fact the post notes that there are more than six channels but that "these six are emerging or have always existed as powerful players in how learners make meaning."

The image above provides a visual view, and the six key areas are listed below.

* Dialogic Response

* Community Interaction

* Abstraction and Creativity

* Media Literacy

* Play

* Self-Directed Learning

Are there other areas you would define as channels of learning?

Very important components for 21st Century learnings...media literacy should probably be number one in our list!

Why We Need a Universal Language for Creativity in Classrooms

"When we speak of the education crisis in the United States, there's one fallacy: We refer to it as ONE singular crisis or problem when in reality, it's a set of issues that in the end combine into one wicked problem. How do we solve such a big problem systematically, one bite at a time?"

This post notes that todays "schools are preparing children for the 21st century using a 19th century model." Is it possible for us to use a 19th century model with issues that have "never been seen before?" How do we break away from conventional thinking and embrace creativity?

There are three areas of focus that are necessary for creativity according to this post: entrepreneurship, communication, and media literacy. For more information click through to the post.
