'21st century education'

21st century education is not about equipment, it’s about approaches. It’s about putting the learner at the heart of their learning and allowing/enabling them to use the equipment you have in creative and collaborative ways.
(Doug Woods, Working with what you’ve got)

A new school year is starting and quite a few changes are noted. One of these, at least for the department of teaching EFL, is the new books set both for the gymnasium and the lyceum level. Another change would be the decision to apply the new curricular in all levels of the gymnasium. On both of these I would very much like to have your views or questions that may rise. Consider, also the above statement. How would the statement above apply to the new curricular we are asked to use this coming year??
