21st century learning refers to a growing global movement to redefine the goals of education and to transform how learning is practiced in order to meet the new demands of the 21st Century. One of the key questions of 21st century learning is ?What do students need to learn to help them succeed in our modern, global times?" Other questions to be addressed in this presentation are:

1. What is "Learning in the 21st century"?
