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 atleast questioning them and researching why they are the best resource available. There is simply too much newinformation, too many new strategies, and new learningavailable to us to ignore the implications it may have for students in our classes.

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

Whether posted online or simplyused in the classroom, our materials must be highly engaging and effective. PowerPoint and Word are becoming antiquated as newer and more powerful presentation and editing suites become available to teachers.
It is our responsibility to compete (where necessary) with the quality of video games and media 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 enlisting students to help or learn more about the technologies we are using.
…we work at making thetechnology work (in the best way we can) so the lesson becomes about the learning instead of the management of machines.
Gone are the days when teachers dole 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 learning where possibletoward individualized needs and interests.
This student-centered focus also creates learning opportunities for the teacher to learn with students, developing theirteaching and collaborative skills.
A digital native is a person for whom digital technologies already existedwhen they were born, and hence has grown up with digital technology such as computers, the Internet, mobile phones and MP3s. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_native
A digital immigrant is an individual who grew up without digital technology and adopted it later. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_native

“iGeners are growing up with portable technology.

…has the courage to admit that they do not know all of the answers and they openly show that they enjoy learning from their students… ...knows that to expect their students to become lifelong learners they must be willing to do the same. …shows children how to seek knowledge independently. …sees what can be accomplished, not what cannot be accomplished. …seeks innovative ways to help all children shine.Adapted from:Kuebler, Mary.

Tweet famous conversations. Havestudents tweet imagined conversationsbetween famous literary figures such asRomeo and Juliet, Sherlock Holmes andWatson, or Dante and Beatrice. Practice a language. If students are learning a foreign language, they can practice with native speakers through groups on Facebook such as this one or by finding native speakers on Twitter or Skype. Inclusion. Students who may have to be out of the classroom due to special needs or illness can be connected to the class remotely and stay a part of the community.

“…It’s about adding quality back into the equation and putting a human filter between you and the overwhelming world of content abundance that is swirling around us every day. Curation replaces noise with clarity.”Steven Rosenbaum, author Curation Nation Hamilton, Buffy. "Summer Seed Ideas:Curation, Participation, and Student PLEs." Web log post. The Unquiet Librarian. Web. 19 June 2011. <http://theunquietlibrarian.wordpress.com/>.
Brian Solis says “…a curator is thethat in social media… keeper of their interest …By discovering, organizing, and sharing relevant content from around the Web, curators invest in the integrity and vibrancy of their nicheworks.

We must educate the students we have, not the student we used to have, nor the student we wished we had. We must adapt to todays student, not them adapting to us. We must adapt to their world of todays 21st century technology. We cannot teach like weve taught forever anymore. We must change ourselves to adapt to their world. They are hyper-communicators and must "power down" just to go to school.http://teacherlingo.com/blogs/sharingtechnology/archive/2008/02/23/using-youtube-in-the-classroom.aspx
We shouldnt expect"out of the box" thinking when we only employ "in the box" teaching. Tom Whitby
