Steven Mintz’s article Five Ways that 21st and 20th Century Learning Will Differ does a beautiful job of laying out how "teaching and learning in the early 21st century differ from its 20th century”.
The far-reaching developments for learning that Mintz’s foresees include:
* A 21st century education will be geared toward 100 percent proficiency.
* It will rest on the science of learning.
* It will be data-driven.
* It will be personalized.
* It will take advantage of technology in ways that truly enhance the learning experience.
