A Vision of 21st Century Teachers

My thoughts as I watched this: It's not just about technology itself, that would be purposeless, but rather the relevant possibilities that it can bring into the classroom by way of the learner through the thoughtful and deliberate guidance of an instructor. One who learns, relearns, defines, redefines, engages, inspires and is not afraid to hand over the reins to the learners and serve as a facilitator of an environment of creation, collaboration and discovery.

21st century pedagogy

Can the argument that our 'teaching style' is so engrained in our teacherDNA be the excuse we give to forgo providing what our learners need so that they may be providers and supporters of the future?

Hello? 20th Century Teacher? It's 2010.

Whether you consider the message hyperbolic or spot on, it's still a fact in 2010.
