21st style of learning speech

Hi my name is Cassius Leota and today i’m going to talk to you about 21st century learning and why it is better than old school leaning. The can use digital devices like chromebooks to access anything in the world using the internet. You can get  info in a second or two just with a push of a button ENTER .

Using the technology we have now is a way better way of learning because in the old days you had to go to the library and go through books to find information and write. Your hands would get sore but now you can just go on your laptops and find the info faster and type it faster.

In the old way of learning I know for a fact that it was not a pretty place to work. You would get smacked with a book on your head or get smacked with a bamboo stick on your hand if you questioned the teacher or got something wrong. I know now that it wasn’t funny back then in learning.

I’m sure you also know that 21st century learning  is not only all about technology. It’s also about how you work with others in groups to solve problems.  You can work anywhere with anybody you would like to work with.   For example: i work with other people in my whanau and being a leader to all the other younger kids in my group in being successful at art

Alex's Yr8 leavers book

The most important thing I’ve achieved at Corinna School is the progress and level I have achieved in maths, reading and writing. This year I lifted my levels from being WELL BELOW to working AT National Standards. This was very steep progress, and to get that far in one year was a great achievement for me. I did this by having a teacher that pushed me to keep working harder and a teacher that cared about me.  That's the kind of teacher that I’d love to have next year.

I’ve changed this year because I believe in myself and take more risks then I took last year. Even if I did get a wrong answer or I’m not sure I still have a go because it’s like teaching yourself to always learning from your mistakes.

This year I want to leave as a person who can show the little kids that you can achieve anything even if it is to hard and to not ever give up. I would like to let little kids know to never try to be someone else because you’re you and that’s what makes you perfect and happy.
