Full version: Of course not. There were obviously many good instructional strategies and great teachers in the 20th century, as there were in the 19th, 18th, and 17th centuries, I'm sure. (I wasn't there.) The point, however, is that our students don't live in those centuries. The world has changed. If we want to be effective in teaching students who will live in the 21st century, we can't use the same teaching practices from prior centuries, no matter how great they were in their day. Time for us to move on.
