I very much enjoyed learning about education in the 21st centruey. I feel it is critical for teachers to understand what needs to be taught and how to effectively get through to students. I thought this article had a lot of great information and grasped the concept of education in the 21st century. Technology has had such am impact during the 21st century and it is important for teachers to be up to date and reach the students through the many resources. I thought srticle was well written and was interesting. Sston008 (talk) 16:23, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

When I think of education in the 21st century, I think of technology. This author nailed it when they chose to focus on the aspect of integration. I graduated from undergrad in 2005 and the only form of technology we used for class was e-mailing our professors or checking grades on the University's website. Now that I've returned to school there's blackboard, wikibooks, teletechnet courses etc. I cannot believe how far education has come in this realm versus just five years ago. What does that mean for the next twenty years? I know that I have to ensure that I'm fluent and capable in this world of technology in order to be able to effectively teach the emerging technically advanced student. Though it seems overwhelming, technology has provided access to a world of learning that we could've never conceived thirty years ago. Now, the world is literally at our fingertips!
