Learning in the "Dream Century"

Have you ever thought that our lifes are getting faster and faster? We are getting used to pace more and more day by day. Can you say that this doesn't affect education or teaching? Well, no you can't. But how? How does it do that? How does the technologhy affect our lifes, our teaching methods, our teachers? I'm here to answer.

Many important developments took place in 21st century. But what concerns us is the effect of this massive development on education. In old times, when our parents wanted to read and learn something, they opened an encyclopedia and spent their hours only to find a little piece of information. When the internet appeared, those hours became minutes, even seconds. Access to information accelerated, but it also brought the excessive amount of false information across the whole internet. In 2018, ı cannot tell you that there is not a single teacher that do not use internet, but ı can say that %99 of them use the internet to give lectures.

Therefore, In my opinion, technologhy and the 21st century brought both positive and negative sides to education. What we must do is using these great opportunity to our own benefits, and mostly to our students' benefits.

If you have any different idea, it is time to share them with us!
