21st Century Educators

I've been spending a lot of time visiting/thinking about/reflecting and designing learning experiences around the new ISTE NETS Standards for students.

I really like the quote on ISTE's web site made by Don Knezek, the CEO of ISTE because it describes what qualities today's educators need to have to deliver 21st Century learning experiences for our students.

"Teachers must become comfortable as co-learners with their students and with colleagues around the world. Today it is less about staying ahead and more about moving ahead as members of dynamic learning communities. The digital-age teaching professional must demonstrate a vision of technology infusion and develop the technology skills of others. These are the hallmarks of the new education leader".
