“Students do not learn much just sitting in classes listening to teachers, memorizing prepackaged assignments, and spitting out answers. They must talk about what they are learning, write reflectively about it, relate it to past experiences, and apply it to their daily lives. They must make what they learn part of themselves.” -Arthur W. Chickering and Stephen C. Ehrmann


In 21st Century Learning, students use educational technologies to apply knowledge to new situations, analyze information, collaborate, solve problems, and make decisions. Utilizing emerging technologies to provide expanded learning opportunities is critical to the success of future generations. Teachers have to be vigilant on what is going on and how meaningful and essential is the application of technology in the classroom discussion. It should not be an option to upgrade and update one’s competence; it is a must. Varied learning activities must be employed to arouse learners’ interest so that they will be more motivated to endure understanding, making meaning  and transfer learning and even making it lifelong . Moreover, it must always be the target of every teacher to engage every learner to a very meaningful experience in such a way that they do not only learn the concepts but in-depth interaction with the lesson that affects their daily life.
