21st Century Teacher

We know that they are:collaborativeadaptiveinformation, media and technology savvycommunicatorsimmediate and instantrequire instant gratificationcreators and adaptorBut what about the 21st Century Teacher, what are the characteristics we would expect to see in a 21st Century Educator. We know they are student centric, holistic, they are teaching about how to learn as much as teaching about the subject area. We know too, that they must be 21st Century learners as well. But teachers are more than this The 21st Century teacher is an adaptor. Harnessed as we are to an assessment focused education model the 21st Century Educator must be able to adapt the curriculum and the requirements to teach to the curriculum in imaginative ways. We expect our students to be life long learners. For their advice and feedback Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach, Rod Fee, Kim Cofino, Doug DeKock, David Truss.

Why You Need a Personal Learning Network [video]

Each EdTech UNconference session features one of SimpleK12's EdTech Leaders - real educators who use technology at an expert level and can share their experiences with you. *UPDATE* In April of 2011, the EdTech UNconference became the Teacher Learning Community. We still do dozens of online sessions, and they're all a part of the Community. Check out our upcoming sessions here: Steven Anderson's session on Personal Learning Networks (PLNs) received a fabulous response, and I'm excited I get to share a small part of it with you. This clip comes from his hour-long session, where he talks about his own experiences with PLNs, and gives real-life examples and practical steps to expanding and building your PLN. - Kimberly.
