Wk2 (21Century Learners)

     I do agree that we are the 21st Century learners. There are convinient technologies which definitely help us to improve our learning in better ways. However I've thougt that even we are 21 Century learners and all the gadgets and learning aids are provided, if the teacher doesn't know how to use these materials, they are all useless. Of course it doesn't mean that all lectures and activities should just simply rely on the technology but at least the teachers should also maximize the use of these materials as much as possible. I think before having a 21 Century learners, the teachers should be 21st Century teachers in order to inspire the students. And I also agree that the teachers should know how to handle the online class because it is another good chance benefitting students learning not only in school but also outside through the net.
     After the discussion, our group received the concept and performance matrix of English subject. We took a look on the 3rd year highschool. World Literature I guess.... The contents were poetry, essay writing, drama and novels. Then I remebered my high school English subject which required us to recite our own transformed poem from the original version. Also, we performed a play out of Shakespearean novel, the Macbeth then had other year levels as our guests. I have realized that these activities matched in the performance of matrix that was given to us. This activities were enjoyable and also effective learning so I think these are good examples in the performance matrix.
