21st Century Teaching and Learning.
"An analysis of the history of technology shows that technological change is exponential... So we won't experience 100 years of progress in the 21st century--it will be more like 20,000 years of progress at today's rate." Ray Kurzweil
Ray Kurzweil is a visionary and inventor. He predicted the explosion of the Internet and the ability to access multiple forms of information through the Internet. Based on his predictions, this trend will continue and provide new opportunities for educators and learners. The 21st century experience of an educator is unprecedented in terms of the ability to create content, share content, and provide k12 students with unique learning opportunities. This course will help you develop skills to use the Internet for teaching and learning in a variety of ways.
