As a 21st century teacher you have an opportunity create an environment like none other in your classroom through the use of

digital media.

The blended learning environment has become the wave of education for the 21st century digital native

(the digital learner).

The level of engagement through the use of multimedia resources such as (Twitter, Facebook,

videos, podcasts, online gaming, computer programming, Youtube and a host of Web 2.0 tools would revitalize your classroom in numerous ways.

The 21st Century Teacher

Look at it from this point of view the student you are

teaching has a parent that was either a digital native born after 1985 or one that

is a digital immigrant. Either way they are at the helm of technology upon

awakening daily.

You must move progressively into interactive learning trends

in order to maximize the opportunity for

conceptualization in the classroom to become reflective

of real world learning.

That’s when your classroom becomes the flagship for

others…….
