Title of post: What is 21st Century Knowledge?

Andrew Pass, author of The Current Events in Education, says "There is a significant difference between knowing how to do something and knowing how to learn something. Today's children know how to do many things, when it comes to technology things that most adults can't do. Children can even learn. After all, if they couldn't learn than they wouldn't know things."

My Response:

Educators need to make sure that students are able to teach themselves how to learn. It's not just about being able to do things/tasks. It's more about being able to continually learn. If teachers are the center of the classroom, then students will always be dependent upon them for their learning. However, if we teach students processes and force them to apply those processes in new ways, for new content, and new skills, then they have a sustaining skill. They will never stop being able to learn.

So, as an instructor, I have an awesome responsibility to make sure that students leave my class understanding more than content ... understanding how to keep learning!
