20th and 21st Century Learning

After reading “What Is 21st Century Learning”, I started to notice that there is a big difference between 21st and 20th century learning. The biggest difference is probably that we have more information that is easier to find because we have the Internet. In the 20th century, you had to go to the library or look something up in an encyclopedia to get information that you want. But today we can get that information fast and easy without leaving your house because we have computers and cell phones to look something up. Another thing that is different between 20th and 21st century learning is that we have computers to type something instead of a typewriter. The bad part about a typewriter is that if you make a mistake on your writing, you can’t backspace it, you would have to start over. Another big difference is that we could store something that we typed into a little flash drive that could hold several projects that you did on the computer. One last big difference is that in the 20th century, you would just sit in the class and listen to the teacher and take notes and work. But in the 21st century, you listen to the teacher, take notes sometimes, but unlike in the 20th century we interact with the subject by doing group projects, having a class discussion, and bloging. All of that is a huge difference between 20th and 21st century learning.
