Wikipedia has been put down as long as I’ve been in school and used the computer as a source for research, which has been since around 6th grade. Growing up I was told never, never, NEVER use Wikipedia because it’s not always accurate. As you learn what to look for and what is true and what you may need to look into further, it can be a very helpful starting place. When you begin researching topics on Wikipedia it gives to other options for sources in that area. When you first enter the site http://www.wikipedia.org/ you have the opportunity to choose which language you’d like to continue in. which can be helpful to a lot of people. Then all you do is choose a topic and research it. At the bottom of the page is where you can find other information that you can look at.

Twenty-first Century Learning and Methods are swiping the classroom. It is the coming together of the teacher and the student. It allows the student to be more expressive and be an individual. It will take the students outside and explore. Give you more opportunities to research rather than just read about it in a boring textbook. This new learning wave is more on a virtual base. The student will retain the information give and apply it to his/her life. Traditionally we learn something and be tested on it and graded. No more. We experience the learning and relate and use it rather than forget it. The schools become the nucleus of the learning and the teacher is for the knowledge. Students are getting out of the standard rows in the room and more of a collaboration setting. Make the students feel involved with the learning process rather than simply being taught. http://www.21-learn.com/ This website is all about the 21st century learning. It gives you great services and contact that will help you learn more about it.
