2. Highlight the terms from the five definitions that you find significant. Put
them randomly in the shape below.

New facets of information - concepts

- space - academic - assessment
practices - atmospheric
characteristics - collects the
information - different senses -
behaviors - diverse platform -
engage and interact - settings -
alternative - physical locations

3. Put the terms together into a concise and coherent statement to create
your operational definition of a 21st century learning environment.

A 21st century Learning environment possess not only the physical

location, space or settings where students must learn, or the atmospheric
characteristics they shared, it is also the place where teachers and learners are
displaying there shared concepts of a specific learning area. As an educator it
is our pivotal role to create a diverse academic platform for the students for
them to engage and interact and at the same time, collects facets of
information with each other. Students also tend to sensed their environment
through their different senses and behaviors in which they are capable of
acquiring the learning experiences. More so, in managing the learning
environment ,we also do assessment practices to measure the effectiveness
and appropriateness of all the things specially the curriculum we are executing
in the class. (Arrogante, 2022)
