learning to a new extent

The article “What is 21st Century Learning” really stuck out to me when I was looking at a list of the others. This mainly because I really want to know how we learn now compared to how my dad learned for example. In the article it talks about the three major categories of learning have changed from. In the 20th century those categories were listening, watching, and remembering. Just in the past century has changed a ton. Now we are questioning our learning, gathering our information environment, proving what we found, constructing new learning and knowledge, teaching others what we learn, being respected for the power of our learning, and being responsible for our learning and its out come. I think those bullets really do express how we work today. For example this blog we are writing we have to deepen our thoughts. Our teacher wants us to do this because she wants us to go somewhere in life. If we use these things every day when we learn we will be in very good shape for the future. Then, when it comes to the real world we will know what to do with every problem that comes up. For example if we are making a deal with another company, we will question and think deeper about the deal. The type of learning that has occurred is amazing compared to what it was. There are only three major points that made people in the elder generation smart. We have more points so could not we be smarter? We will be because we are always expanding our thoughts mainly under these categories.
