What is 21C Education? #YourEduStory TL;DR version

We can't give students the knowledge they will need for an uncertain future. But we can give them the skills they need to learn for themselves. No matter what innovation and changes happen, our students can be successful if they are able to
  1. gather information from a variety of sources,
  2. evaluate and analyze that information in context, and
  3. do something with that information.
This means that it is much more important for students to learn how to learn deeply, independently, and authentically, than for them to master a body of facts. We must teach them to become master learners.
