A digital native is a person for whom
digital technologies already existed
when 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.

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 digital
natives, 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 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 simply
used 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 realize
the 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 the technology 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 possible
toward individualized
needs and interests.

This student-centered focus
also creates learning
opportunities for the
teacher to learn with students,
developing their
teaching and collaborative skills.

“iGeners are growing up
with portable technology.
Literally from birth, these
children are able to grow
up using mobile
technology,” he said. “But I
also look at the little ‘i’ as
reflecting the individualized
culture—reflecting our
needs and desires.”

…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.

Leveraging Emerging Technologies for Teaching & Learning

increased access to educational resources and
experts that extend learning beyond the
capacities or limitations of their school or
community

…students in rich, compelling learning
experiences that develop deeper
knowledge and skill
development especially the problem-
solving, creativity and critical thinking
skills so highly desired for our world today


…students to take responsibility for
their own educational destinies and
to explore knowledge with an
unfettered curiosity, thus creating a
new generation of
life long learners.

Make literature real. Have students
create a Facebook page for a character
from literature you are studying like this
class did.
Follow famous people. Many famous
people are on Twitter. Have students
follow someone related to what you are
studying, such as following President
Obama when looking at government.

Learn probability. An elementary teacher
uses Twitter to teach the concept of
probability. Field trips. Use Skype to bring the field trip
into the classroom when it is difficult or
impossible for students to go to the source.

Grassroot opportunities. Social media
provides opportunities for students to
work together on grassroot movements
such as the one at the University of
British Columbia where students fought
to keep the weight room at their aquatic http://tiny.cc/978yaw

center open.

“…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.”

Brian Solis says “…a curator is the
that 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 today's student, not
them adapting to us. We must adapt to
their world of today's 21st century
technology. We cannot teach like
we've 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.

We shouldn't
expect
"out of the box"
thinking
when we only
employ
"in the box"
teaching.
