Education in the 21st Century “Teachers and students, co-intent on reality, are both Subjects, not only in the task of unveiling that reality, and thereby coming to know it critically, but in the task of re-creating that knowledge. As they attain this knowledge of realityt through common reflection and action, they discover themselves as its permanent re-creators” (Friere, 2010, p. 69). Photo from http://www.apple.com/ipad/
