What Does 21st Century Education Look Like Today?

Adam Bellow writes that we cannot completely define a 21st Century Skills Set just yet. [There are 87 years to go in the century he jokes.] We see shifts  and questions rather than answers. He says no one-size fits-all education solution can or will work for our 21st century citizens.
(Adam Bellow, founder of eduTecher and eduClipper, was recognized in 2011 as Outstanding Young Educator of the Year by the International Society for Technology in Education.

Here are some observations Bellow notices...

• Educators are not only those in front of the room.
• Students are the key stakeholder in their education.
• Education as a "system" is a 20th century model.
• Learning can occur at any time and anywhere.
• 20th Century educators were used to resources in boxes or taken from the "tried & true" manual.
• 21st Century education needs to be based on connectedness to information.  That may or may not include technology.
• The larger classroom is without boundaries just like the larger world, tangibly and socially.

Interesting to read. And yes, we don't have all the answers. What are the questions you see? Pose them in Comments.
