My 21st Century Classroom

• I believe in a classroom of the future. Where technology is integrated into the everyday curriculm and each and every child is able to learn due to the numerous methods that can be integrated into the curriculum.These are some critical parts to one such lesson that utilizes Blooms Taxonomy Higher Order of Thinking (H.O.T.S)
• I also believe in a more international and global classroom.
