Doug Strable, a freelance learning and development designer based in Tokyo, lays out some ideas, advice and warnings surrounding the new type of classroom that awaits teachers and parents in the 21st century.
Communicating and learning online is here to stay: The ability to learn quickly, recognize fake facts and offer creative solutions to problems are all skills needed in what has been dubbed "Society 5.0" by the government. Today’s workers and students need to build technological, information and media skills.
Use a current pedagogy: Pedagogy, the science of how people learn, has changed. Parents and teachers need to teach students how to find, think about and use information rather than strictly presenting it. Collaborating with others, searching for information and reporting to the team online helps students build these skills.
