Being a 21st Century teacher means we need to be aware that we have 21st Century students. We need to be aware that the ways they communicate which are very different from what the teacher may have been raised with. The students are using shared GoogleDocs to speak to one another, talking to one another in different classrooms. We need to stress the permanency of the communication and that consequences can come from these not-so-private on a school network conversations. We also need to be aware of how pop culture affects how our students think and that certain appropriate and inappropriate behaviors may come from these outside influences. Our job is to help guide them to the best use of these “cool” things to make their learning fun, relevant, current, and yet appropriate. LINK: LINK:LINK:
