21st Century Learners

Hello, everyone. I hope you are doing well. Today I would like to share on the topic: 21st Century Learners.

Well, what does it mean by 21st century learners?

21st century learners are students that have one or more of these skills:

1. Critical thinking

2. Creativity

3. Collaboration

4. Communication

5. Information literacy

6. Media literacy

7. Technology literacy

8. Flexibility

9. Leadership

10. Initiative

11. Productivity

12. Social skills

These skills are important for students as they can help students to thrive in this challenging world. They need to have skills that can bring them forward despite all the difficulties they face in their life. Things keep changing and there are new things happening every day. Especially in this time of pandemic which is a very hard time for all of us, it is important that we know our role as a responsible person in our community.

The pandemic has surely affected us in a lot of ways. One of it is that because of the pandemic and the quarantine, we are staying at home every day and the closest thing to us is technology. We can’t deny that the quarantine has increased our dependent on technology. Technology has become one of our main necessities as we use it to do our tasks everyday. For example, we use technology such as laptop and phone to attend our online classes. We also use our social media to stay connected with our family and friends as we are not allowed to go out and meet them.

As a 21st century learner too, I would say that technology really did helped me in so many ways for me to improve on my skills and ability. However, technology also did bring some challenges to me as it can be a big distraction for me to complete my tasks. Therefore, I think that is it important to limit your time on using the technology even though how much you feel that you need to use it. Take some time off your day to spend by just looking at the beautiful nature around us.

Here, attached is a video I made to help you understand about 21st century learners. I hope you enjoyed the video!

That’s all from me today. Thank you.

Stay safe and take care always. We can fight this!

Life goes on.

“When you are so busy that you feel perpetually chased,

when worrying thoughts circle your head,

when the future seems dark and uncertain,

when you are hurt by what someone has said,

slow down, even if only for a moment.

Bring all of your awareness into the present and take a deep breath.”
