This document discusses the importance of teachers continuing to learn and adapt to new technologies and strategies in order to effectively teach students in the 21st century. It notes that teachers must go beyond solely using textbooks and familiar worksheets, and should question existing methods and research new approaches. Teachers are also encouraged to understand social media and how students use digital tools, even if not integrating these tools into their own lessons, in order to help guide students online. The document advocates making lessons highly engaging using multimedia tools, and adapting to the pervasive presence of mobile devices and helping technology work for lessons rather than being a distraction. It promotes a student-centered approach and individualizing instruction to different learners.

- 7. Educators absolutely mustbe 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 classes.

- 9. Not many teacherswould 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.

- 11. Whether posted onlineor 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.
- 12. It is ourresponsibility 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.
- 14. As teachers ofour 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.
- 15. …we work atmaking the technology work (in the best way we can) so the lesson becomes about the learning instead of the management of machines.
- 17. Gone are thedays 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.
- 18. This student-centered focus also creates learning opportunities for the teacher to learn with students, developing their teaching and collaborative skills.

- 127. We must educatethe 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. http://teacherlingo.com/blogs/sharingtechnology/archive/2008/02/23/using-youtube-in-the-classroom.aspx
