The 21st Century Classroom

The 21st century classroom will encounter challenges. It might be hard for some schools to build the classroom, some of the challenges are the cost or money, Community/environment around them and equality.

I picked money because it will cost a lot for the schools to buy the things for the 21st century classroom. Laptops and the other necessary technologies for the classroom are pretty expensive so not all school can afford enough money for the technologies for the classroom. But I knew that the schools want to have the latest technologies for the students to learn more better. Some schools can buy the things for the classroom like the private ones but the others can't because they don't have enough money to buy the latest technologies they want.

Another challenge is the community/environment around. Some people might not like the 21st century, like some environmentalist, parents and some other people. The environmentalist might not like it because it will cost more pollution, the factories will make the technologies and it might cost pollution because of the smoke that came out from the factory. Parents might not like either because their children might use the technologies for fun and not for school.

The last challenge for me is equality because it may be unfair for the other schools that can't afford the technologies for their classrooms. Some schools are doing fundraising activities, so they can buy the things they want for the classroom but it's not the technologies that they wanna buy, it's the extra chairs or books or something else that is more important than technologies. It's really sad for the other schools that don't have enough money to buy the latest technologies. The other school are very lucky because they have the latest technologies they want.

The 21st century classroom challenges are very hard for the schools that can't afford technologies but the other school are so lucky, they have the things that they need for the 21st century classroom. I just hope that these challenges can be solve.
