The “21st Century classroom” is an idea that is gaining ground among teachers and administrators around the world. Gone are the days when a teacher would stand in front of thirty to forty students, and lecture for an hour at a time. Now, the focus is on the students, on group-based and pod-based learning strategies, and having the students take a more active role in their learning. The “21st Century classroom” does not necessarily use more advanced technologies; it means that teachers integrate information in different ways, and challenge the students. It also looks at how to encourage students to explore and experiment with their new information and to connect with their peers. In essense, the “21st Century classroom” is an area where students can engage in self-directed learning with their peers, either face-to-face or via groupware, and receive guidelines and feedback from their instructor.
