After 6 minutes of his lecture, my first conclusion is the present learning process of the 21st century is a democratic and globalized learning process. No more regimented and restricted learning process - with its social and cultural constraints. The learning process of the 21st century must be opened to all doors of opportunities; don't leave all the stones unturned. He said 'We learn in and through our interactions with others and the world'.
My next conclusion after the 13th minute of his lecture is the present generation have created a fusion of learning and fun in one digital, borderless world. Thus, if the parents and educators want to be a part of this world, they need to practise and believe the fusion. 'If I ain't learning, it ain't fun' mantra is the core of the fusion...so if you can't beat the mantra, join in the mantra! Such fusion actually encourages students to adopt learning enthusiastically and excitedly and educators are obligated to echo such fusion on their respective classes. I see it as a challenge for some as while some educators have their own teaching and learning philosophy that is derived from their own experience, they have to be ready to be flexible towards accepting the whole (or a part of) the students' philosophy in their classrooms. For example, to create learners who understand, group learning through social interaction must be included in the teaching and learning process of the particular educator so that his and the students' learning objectives are achieved together.
Unfortunately, by the time of 21st minutes, I began to lose the big picture!
