“If education for the ‘now’ and for the future demands that schools and educators prepare our citizens
- to be avid (digital) readers or writers, they should be modeling being a (digital) reader and writer
- to learn to collaborate and work on a (global) team, their teachers should have the skills to work on a (global) team
- to be online learners, their teachers need to be comfortable learning online
- to share their learning with peers, their teachers should be openly sharing their own learning with colleagues
- to become network literate , teachers need experiences with “a basic understanding of network technology, crafting a network identity, understanding of network intelligence and network capabilities”
- to leverage the power of a learning network to solve problems and answer beyond “googleable” questions, then their teachers should be connected to a learning network
- to own their own learning by actively participating and contributing, then their teachers need to be doing the same and modeling life long learning
Building an online professional development hub/community for your school as a platform will give your faculty the opportunity to experience exactly this type of learning.”
