The ideal place to work in, is in which you feel comfortable, give you some benefits and supply all your needs as a worker

Nowadays, it is difficult to find a place where people feel comfortable and really like their job. For this reason, it is important to get one that fits perfect with the needs of the worker.

Firstable, it is important to get a job that is totally connected with your career. Most of the people, work in a job that do not have relation on what they studied, because of the economic problems that have been incresing in the last century. Also, the person must be in a  place where the salary is reasonable and according to the hours that he/she spent working. The employee don't have to be exploted or feel abused by their own jobs, in which they will work for the rest of their lives.

There must be extra-time to do other activities, such as stay with their families or practice any sport sharing with their kids. Actually, the Colombian families are too weak, mostly for that, the parents do not have enough time to educate their children. It is very important to get a job in which the employees have enough time to live their own lives, and feel happy  with their jobs. The worst thing, is to feel that they are wasting their lives working in a job that are soaking up them.

The appereance and the environment of the work place is really important. It must be light and bright. The silence is very important too. Everybody would really like to work in a quiet place, to concentrate in the activities each one is doing. A coffee dispenser is useful for the people who work late at night, or the ones who need to arrive very early. Besides that, any place to rest and at the same time work it would be wonderful. Such as a cafeteria, or a yard, where you could distract, eat, work, watch TV, etc. Finally, a comfortable seat, it is very useful too, for the people who are sitting 8 straight hours.

A company has to give some benefits to their employees. For example, Extra-learning courses for their own training and to imporve their skills. A space for kids is very approachable for the mothers who left their children at home. And finally, agreements with clubs, restaurants and airlines to travl cheaper or have some eocnocmic benefits in food or something. There must be a "gift" or regard for the people who are working for them.

In conclusion, the ideal place to work in, is where the worker feel comfortable, give benefits to their families and for them. It is important too, to be in a place that helps to improve yourself, and supply your needs as a human being and as a worker.

Preparing today’s youth to succeed in the digital economy requires a new kind of teaching and learning. Skills such as global literacy, computer literacy, problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, and innovation have become critical in today’s increasingly interconnected workforce and society--and technology is the catalyst for bringing these changes into the classroom.
In a 21st-century learning environment, all students are able to learn. Project-based learning allows students to acquire 21st-century skills in the context of real-world scenarios, and the integration of video and other media to support instruction links students with outside resources and enables teachers to address many learning styles at once. In fact, the 21st-century learning environment doesn’t just wait for teachable moments; it literally creates them at will.
At eSchool News, we’ve seen schools transforming through the use of technology to meet the needs of a new, tech-savvy generation of learners. Now, with the generous support of AVPartners, we’ve combed our archives to assemble our best content related to the creation of 21st-century classrooms. We hope you’ll take a few minutes to peruse these resources and learn how other educators are defining 21st-century learning as you strive to implement this vision of education in your own schools.
