21st Century Pedagogy

Online learning is ideal for engaging students in higher order thinking skills, if prepared and guided appropriately, as there are many tools available for students to engage in collaboration, sharing, publishing. thinking, creativity and design. 



The above diagram illustrates the retention rate for students based on a variety of teaching strategies. The retention rate for information given during a lecture averages 5% - whereas the retention rate when students are actively involved in discussing, doing, using and teaching.


The diagram below attempts to describe all the components of 21st century pedagogy. Very few, if any, of these strategies are static. All require some level of interactivity, communication or reflection. As a teacher, this has significant implications for how we teach the young people in our classes. 







ACTIVITY FOUR: have a look at each of the diagrams provided and reflect on their implications for teaching, planning for the classroom and what types of strategies need to be regularly incorporated into all lessons. In your blog comment for this post make a note of some of them implications you can think of for you and your lesson planning.
