"If we teach today's students the way we taught them yesterday, we rob them of tomorrow." John Dewey

"In the 20th century, we taught our kids what to what to learn. We lined their desks up in rows and put the teacher at the front of the classroom. But in today's world, many teachers are questioning the status quo by meeting young people where they are. They're using 21st century tools to help prepare kids for a 21st century world."

The first 30 seconds of PBS's documentary New Learners of the 21st Century offers a perfect thesis on 21st century learners. The program is worth viewing if you are a teacher or a parent of a student. The 60 minute documentary can be viewed here. Watch the first 4 minutes below.
