This document discusses the changing landscape of education and teaching in today's digital world. It notes that the number of internet and social media users has grown significantly, with over 2.5 billion people online and 1.9 billion using social media. It emphasizes that teachers can no longer work in isolation, but must connect with other educators and experts. An effective teacher is always learning, uses technology and visuals effectively, allows students choice and creativity in projects, and links learning to real-world issues. The focus for teachers should be on pedagogy, content and understanding student contexts rather than just integrating new technologies. The goal is for every student to find their passion and want to come to school.
