The Future of Learning

-


As society's reliance on technology increases, it changes the path of education.  A wide array of pundits believe that we will move away from the traditional model of school, which trained people for factory work, and towards a different paradigm that values problem solving, critical thinking, collaboration, and an ease with using many different modes of technology.  This new paradigm could also be referred to as 21st Century skills.

To be successful in the modern world, it is essential that students learn to collaborate .  One was to teach students to work together is by having them work together in small groups.  There are different ways to group students and each method has its positives and negatives .  For simplicity's sake, I will focus on heterogeneous (different) and homogeneous (same) groupings, and these will be reflected in the six sample data sets below as well as a Padlet presentation on using assessment to inform assessment.

Learning Environment Plan
