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 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 classes.
- 9. 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 studentโs world. This means having social media accounts and understanding how they are used, even if you donโt 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 donโt (or canโt) join them.
- 11. 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.
- 12. 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.
- 14. 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 โmake it workโ with technology, which may include enlisting students to help or learn more about the technologies we are using.
- 15. โฆwe 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.
- 17. 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.
- 18. This student-centered focus also creates learning opportunities for the teacher to learn with students, developing their teaching and collaborative skills.
- 19. 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

- 45. 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.
- 46. Tweet famous conversations. Have students tweet imagined conversations between famous literary figures such as Romeo and Juliet, Sherlock Holmes and Watson, 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.

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