21^st Century Learning

The 21^st Century is different from any other era of humanity. As humanity never advanced ever before, we experience new, surprising, and exciting events, technologies, and discoveries. Our current period, the 21^st Century, offers us drastically changed ways to live, communicate, work and learn.

21^st Century Learning is outshining other centuries by using the Internet and online platforms. With the invention of the Internet which is the largest column of our current entire community. Education also benefits from online methods and the internet itself. Both teachers and students or all kinds of learners participate in online lessons via internet connection without the need of going to schools. The teacher can give their lessons with computer-integrated useful programs and can use very extended digital material such as slides and videos. Students can benefit from online homework and online lesson independently.

In my opinion, 21^st Century Learning means digital learning, being able to use digital platforms and use the internet as many as possible. It is additionally important for language learning. As students and teachers can be united from all over the globe, we can study foreign languages ignoring distances. Furthermore, thanks to the internet we can reach any sources we demand. If we are learning a new language this can be especially useful, we can find any kind of grammar knowledge, reading or listening activities, or tips for learning that language. I have already used these kinds of things while I have been learning English. And as a 21^st Century teacher, I will be sure about my students also use them too.
