Twenty first century teachers must have many skills. These skills are different than the past. Today’s educators need to prepare themselves and their students to solve problems and create new useful devices. Innovative ideas happen when people connect one thought with another (“connect the dots”). The more experiences and knowledge teachers and students have, the more likely they are to connect the dots and create something new and unique.
We are in the information age. The tools we have today are vast. Information is at our fingertips. We can now easily communicate with people all over the world through the use of the internet. We have affordable software and hardware that did not exist just a few years ago. Digital cameras, iPads, 3D printers and powerful portable computers are some of the useful tools educators use in today’s classrooms.
I, as a leader in education, need to be involved in the purchase and proper use of these new tools in my school and promote an atmosphere that encourage teachers and students to explore, investigate, learn, share, and collaborate with each other. When this happens, everyone will have a more productive, creative life.
