Allow your students to find what they love. Love what they do. They are the new; we are the old! Live their inner voice. Follow their hearts. Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

Don’t throw technology into the classroom and hope for good things.Focus on the change in pedagogy, not
technologyLearning 2.0 is about dramatically changing
the relationship between a teacher and students in the learning process.
Use technology for a student-focused, customized, collaborative learning environment.
How to become a better teacher in the digital age?
Tapscott’s 7 Strategies
![Page 23: Promising practices blastoff_-8-21-12_final](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070316/555caf68d8b42aad358b511d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Cut back on lecturing.You don’t have all the answers.Broadcast learning doesn’t work for this
generation.Start asking students questions and listen to
their answers.Listen to the questions students ask, too. Let
them discover the answer. Let them co-create a learning experience
with you.

Empower students to collaborate.Encourage them to work with each other and
show them how to access the world of subject-matter experts available on the Web.

Focus on lifelong learning, not teaching to the test.It’s not what they know when they
graduate that counts; it’s their capacity and love for lifelong learning that’s important.
Focus on teaching them how to learn – not what to know.
