About the 21st Century
and Education
We see and hear the phrase "21st century" almost everywhere.
Perhaps the term has become so ubiquitous that it has lost much
of its impact or meaning. However, the dramatic impact of the
ongoing technological revolution that ushered in the 21st
century is only growing. It is changing our world, the context
in which our students live and learn, in more dramatic ways with
each new development.
Today's students live in a world that is extremely fast-paced,
constantly changing, increasingly culturally diverse,
technologically driven, and media-saturated. We cannot continue
to deliver a 20th century, scientific-management, factory-model
education. This new context of the 21st century requires that
we redefine "education", "school", "curriculum", "teacher" and
"learner". It requires that we provide an education designed to
help our students truly succeed.
Therefore, we offer educators the knowledge, the understanding,
and the tools to actually take their schools and classrooms into
the 21st century. Read our description of a
21st century
education.
The Great Race - a Global
Collaborative Classrooms Project
(left photo) French entry in The Great Race 1908. From
New York City to Paris to prove to the world that the
automobile was a reliable form of transportation.
(right photo) The Great Race of 2008 features cars with renewable fuels and
other 21st century technologies as well as the old classics!
Here you see the
“alé”, built by FuelVapor Technologies.
Note: Originally this project was planned around the Great
Race of 1908 and the Great Race of 2008 (the centennial
celebration) which was to take place from May 30 through August
2, 2008. Unfortunately the organizers of this race lost
their travel permits through China in mid-April, and the race
was postponed. Therefore, we are in the process of
revising this global classrooms curriculum project, and with
your help, will be planning alternative centennial celebrations!
The Great Race of 1908 was a race from New York to Paris - to
prove that the automobile was truly a dependable form of
transportation.
Teach, and exceed the standards,
through this interdisciplinary, project-based curriculum, and
let your students create products demonstrating what they've
learned. Their audience will be the world!
