Today’s students’ learning styles have changed. Traditional teaching methods such as lectures, students reading textbooks, and teacher dominated discussions no longer are meeting students’ needs. According to a 2000 National Center for Educational Statistics study, “American children between the ages of 9 and 17 use technology more than any other age group” (Gillard & Bailey, 2007, p. 87). However, this Paper aims its discussion on “Integrating Technology to Meet the Needs of 21st Century Learners” by briefly talking about Education and skills of the 21st Century. Later throws light on the Teachers goals to help students become iKids and truly global citizens. It has also thrashed out the roles of “School”, “Teacher”, “Learner” and “Curriculum” for the 21st Century. Later the paper explores how we should integrate technology to enable our class a global class room. Finally it ends with an excerpt from a book “Teaching the Elephant to Dance”, by James A. Belasco, Ph.D.
