Podcast No.1

Hi everyone, in this post I will mention about my podcasting process and my feelings about it. The first thing we did was forming a story then recording our voices on a suitable platform.

What makes 21st century learning interesting and different from the other centuries learning systems? In the 21st century new and more developed understanding of learning came to existence. 21st century learning mainly focus on 4c skills which are communication, collobaration, critical thinking and creativity.But of course developing these skills are not something easy.To develop these skills lots of thing should be changed in classes such as teacher's role, student's role, class activities, understanding of teaching and at all. In the 21st century learning, classes should be student based. Students should take role for lesson flows and teachers should not have all the controls.

Activities should aim to devolop presentational skills and interpersonal skills because these skil...
