21st Century Learning

As I viewed this web-site, I noticed a big push towards learning on a different frontier. I was impressed by the support that was given by its members and the mission that they are trying to achieve. I feel that they really trying to reach out to us and allow us to think outside the box when it comes to education. We must not think like dinosaurs anymore when it comes to educating are children of tomorrow.
As educators of these children, we must have a more worldly process which will allow our students to become better citizens an in ever growing non-industrial society. The site is trying to make us aware of what the focus of learning should be in the 21st century not the 19th, or 20th. Our world is changing and it is time for us in the United States to catch up with our neighbors throughout the world or we will definitely be falling behind.
I live in the state of Michigan and we all have heard or seen the BIG THREE auto makers are falling behind and the world market has basically passed them by. The focus now at least in our state has to change its philosophy and look to other resources and other means for economic growth if we are going to survive. It has to start with the education of our youth of tomorrow to see that this is met and for us as citizens of Michigan can move beyond the old industrial image that it has taken on.
