Chinese Proverb
As a 21st century teacher you have an opportunity
create an environment like none other in your
classroom through the use of digital media.
The blended learning environment has become the wave of
education for the 21st century digital native (the digital learner).
The level of engagement through the use of multimedia
resources such as (Twitter, Facebook, videos, podcasts, online
gaming, computer programming, Youtube and a host of Web 2.0
tools would revitalize your classroom in numerous ways.
The 21st Century Teacher

5. Look at it from this point of view
the student you are teaching has
a parent that was either a digital
native born after 1985 or one that
is a digital immigrant. Either way
they are at the helm of
technology upon awakening
daily.
You must move progressively into
interactive learning trends in order to
maximize the opportunity for
conceptualization in the classroom to
become reflective of real world
learning.
That’s when your classroom
becomes the flagship for
others…….
