The 21st Century Learner Needs a 21st Century Teacher

If we teach today's students, as we taught yesterday's, we rob them of tomorrow - John Dewey

"How we teach must reflect how our students learn, it must also reflect the world they will emerge into. This is a world that is rapidly changing, connected, adapting and evolving. Our style and approach to teaching must emphasize the learning in the 21st century." - Source
