The 21st century learners are coming part 2

Again, another post about the 21st century learner. This is an interesting video of different educators discussing their desire to see traditional education morph into something that gives students a chance to participate and create rather than regurgitate and memorize. They explain that students are active content creators in their free time, yet they are expected to be passive content receivers when they enter the classroom. I think expectations are rising for what people want from education. Soon, if not already, it will not be enough to send people to a class to sit and listen and then call that training.
