Question the term "21st century learning." Do you really think the same words were used to describe learning in 1901 as in 1999? Of course, some words should have been used throughout the previous century and some pictures of learning should have been consistent, but much should have changed over time as technology progressed from transatlantic radio to the Internet. Perhaps we never really learned how to leverage the radio in the classroom and that's why we are ok summing up 100 years worth of learning in one buzz phrase. Regardless, we have no choice but to respond to the ever-changing face of the 21st century as we plan for new curricula content and organization, new assessment strategies and accountability, and new technologies and learning brains.
