21st Century teaching is to instill a yearning in all of our students for life-long learning. Students ask questions, create, and at times, even debate. They often have to cooperate, Which requires them to communicate. It can be self-directed; however, collaboration may be expected. Like Einstein, we use invention as a key to success and students can use technology to show their best. Critical thinking and reasoning bring it all together, to establish life-long learners forever.
