![Page 4: The role and functions of educational technology in 21st century](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062523/589a16821a28ab2a678b4bc7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Instruction should be student-centered• Education is no longer about listening to the teacher
talk and absorbing the information.
• Students will ‘learned to learn’ on their own.
• Teacher as the facilitator of the students.
• Students are engage in many different types of hands-on activities, as well as demonstrate learning in many different ways.
• Learning is about discovery , not the memorization of facts.
![Page 5: The role and functions of educational technology in 21st century](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062523/589a16821a28ab2a678b4bc7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Education should be collaborative:• Students must learn how to collaborate
with others.•
They should be encouraged to work together to discover information ,piece it together, and construct meaning .
• Students should learn how to recognize the different strengths and talents each person can bring to a project and change roles depending on these attributes.

Learning should have context:• The teacher can make a point of helping students to understand how the skills they are building can be applied in their lives.
• Students will be much more motivatedto learn something that they can see the value in.
• Lessons have little purpose if they do not have any impact in a student’s life outside of the school.
