PURPOSE: This session is designed to provide educators with a deeper understanding of the nature of 21st-century learners and the academic and thinking skills that they need to develop to be successful in the rapidly changing techno-societies.
OBJECTIVES:
1. By end of the session, the attendees will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the Essential skills of a 21st Century classroom.
2. The attendees will be able to create an instructional plan to improvise the 4Cs-Design Thinking Model based on the diverse needs of their students.
THE OVERVIEW: As educators, it is one of the most essential and relevant areas of expertise to recognize our students and their needs as digital natives who always depend on technology and digital tools or platforms. It is equally important that educators who are digital immigrants develop relevant instructional strategies to facilitate training the mind to think rather than learning the facts.
