Educators absolutely must be driven to learn in order to
teach effectively in the 21st Century.
It is no longer acceptable to teach only from a textbook, to rely on
the same worksheets an methods year after year without at least
questioning them and researching
why they are the best resource available.
There is simply too much new
information, too many new strategies, and new learning
available to us to ignore the implications
it may have for students in our class.

Not many teachers would consider themselves digitalnatives, but we must understand enough about digital
content and how it is used to effectively operate in our
student’s world.
This means having social media accounts andunderstanding how they are used, even if you don’t
use them specifically for learning.
We must be familiar enough with the new digitallandscape that we can help students navigate their
journey online,even if we don’t (or can’t) join them.

Whether posted online or simply
used in the classroom, our materials must be highlyengaging and effective. PowerPoint and Word are
becoming antiquated as newer and morepowerful presentation and editing suites
become available to teachers.

It is our responsibility to compete (where necessary)with the quality of video games andmedia construction in order to hook
students into great learning.As media conscious teachers,
we can win student attention by working with them,not against them, for their learning.

As teachers of our time, we must realizethe implications of pervasive technologies
such as smart phones and
highly mobile tablets/computers.In addition, we must find ways to
‘make it work’ with technology,
which may include enlistingstudents to help or learn more
about the technologies we are using.

…we work at making the technology work( in the best way we can)
so the lesson becomes aboutthe learning instead of themanagement of machines.

Gone are the days when teachersdole out assignments and send
students on their merry way.
A modern educator realizes the
plethora of factors impacting
students in our current world,
and strives to tailor learningwhere possible
toward individualized
needs and interests.Teacher HelpingGirl On Laptop. Photography. Encyclopædia Britannica Image Quest. Web. 28 Mar 2012.http://quest.eb.com/images/154_2883701
This student-centered focus
also creates learningopportunities for the
teacher to learn with students,
developing their
teaching and collaborative skills.
