Everyday you learn something new. After the recent discussion in class I have thought about 21st century learning, since we were told it would play a part in our projects. Being a teachers son I hear about all the programs that are being brought in like PBL, and its really interesting. The focus of some of these things seems to be attempting to give students a bit more freedom, but it doesn't seem to be a good idea to me. As children we can't really be trusted with the freedom to be that independent. Some people would not gain anything because they are too free to just do some kind of really bad project. I think the idea is good but it needs to be refined for the reality of how children our in this time.
