How Things Have Changed! What Should It Look Like Now?
21st Century vs 20th Century
Traditional classrooms are designed as teacher-centric. 21st Century learners are collaborators and communicators. Classrooms of the 21st century are different. They have to adapt to different needs - space for the students to work quietly and reflectively; space to operate in small groups discussing and debating; space to meet collectively to report, discuss, plan and teach.
