Teachers of the 21st century under the technological era should apply the latest learning strategies not only to comply with the demands of time but also to improve the education of the schoolchildren.

Crossover Learning. Going to different museums, parks, libraries, laboratories and other educational places outside the school premises may be worthwhile. The learning experiences may be enriched if the students are paying visits to the mentioned places thus enriching their everyday lives.
Learning through Argumentation. This way may give students the freedom to argue on certain matters in the way of contrast and eventually are arriving at the best possible ideas which would culminate the discussion. They also share their own respective views and opinion on important notions.
Incidental Learning. This is unplanned and unprepared. It may exist while an activity is being conducted. This may add ideas to the students and increase their knowledge on certain matter.
Context-Based Learning. By relating context of what is being discussed to our own experience we may exactly learn. Reacting to the one being discussed is also producing context. We tend to share what we know regarding a certain situation by citing our own experiences.
Computational thinking. It is one way of learning wherein the learner is encouraged to break a large problem into components, setting unimportant details and setting the steps in order to arrive at an answer.
Learning by Doing Science. This is applicable to the engagement in the scientific practices using authentic tools and equipment in the laboratory. Further learning may be achieved if you are being exposed to actual undertaking.
Embodied Learning. This is the awareness to the use of the body in dealing with real or simulated support to learning. Here, the students may learn with the reinforcement of bodily activities.
Adaptive Learning. It is somewhat attending to individual differences. The teacher may employ personalized path through educational content to the learning of an individual. It is fitting the lesson to every type of learner.
These are the latest learning strategies that the 21st Century teacher may apply in the school. These are all presented in order to aid the students in achieving better learning.
