Summarizing differences

9

20th century class:

● Information was premium○ No Internet, expensive books,

limited access to libraries.

● Those who had access to information and could transmit it effectively were valued.

● Students were mostly listeners and note-takers, absorbing information during the lecture, and doing their practice later.

21st century class

● Information is no longer at a premium○ WWW! Lots of content

● Not enough for a teacher to only transmit information.○ Impossible to compete with WWW

● Necessary for a teacher to ensure that students are able to assimilate the information, through appropriate and timely practice.
