Education in the 21st Century

Education in the 21st century is changing rapidly. From preschool to graduate school, teaching methods, curricular, and modes of delivering subject content have undergone a radical transformation.

At the preschool and kindergarten levels, alternative approaches such as Waldorf, Montessori, and others have altered the landscape of early education. In the elementary, middle, and high school phases, the emergence of the charter school movement has opened up new options for students, teachers, and school districts across the country. At the post-secondary and graduate levels, the proliferation of online and distance programs has opened up avenues for individuals – at both traditional and non-traditional ages – to advance their education in ways that were previously unattainable.

Not all of these new developments come from our near-universal Internet access facilitated by the advent of the information age. There is one new approach, however, that’s particularly relevant to elementary, middle, and high school students and is directly related to computers and the Internet.

Educators call this new approach blended learning.

What is blended learning?

Blended Learning is a teaching technique that amalgamates the effective teaching methodologies of traditional learning and eLearning. It brings endless possibilities to the table for every individual with the help of technology. It has been proven to be effective in yielding better results and efficient fulfillment of learning objectives.
