The 21st Century Learners

Learning in the 21st century has its own charming aspect if you can use different technology in your favor. Otherwise, you will struggle to adapt to this changing world full of new inventions. As a learner in the 21st century, you may need to know a little of everything. In the video “What is 21st-century education?,” it was mentioned that it’s common knowledge that the world is changing, and we must change as well. We are using modern technology as a tool to improve our lives and places around us.

In the article “What’s the Purpose of Education in the 21st Century?,” Strauss (2015) explains that the meaning of education is to help students grow skills that are necessary for being successful at a job, in life, and us residents.

Another risk is that I don’t know yet if the skills I will learn in college will be the same required by my future employer. For instance, I already had an unpleasant experience with my first degree in accounting. The university that I attended used obsolete course material and accounting programs, so when I graduated it was very complicated to find a job. In the publication “21st Century Education for A 21st Century Economy,” Wyman (2016) explains as well that many young specialists are having a challenging time of transition from studying to real-world life.
