Role of Teachers in the 21th Century!!!

The role of a teacher in the 21st century, teacher needs to be more prepared with technology. Technology is advancing everyday and teachers need to keep up with this. They need to incorporate technology in their daily lesson plans, so students can relate with it.
The role of a teacher  will remain the same by interacting with their students and being as tolerant as s/he can be. S/He is a role model for her/his students and this type of characteristic will never change.

New Ideas!!!

I really want to introduce new strategies related to technology, such as smart board lessons. This is my goal for next year to be able to do more hands on activities with the smart board. I will spend time during the summer to incorporate this activities to my lessons. At the same time, I want to buy a set of clickers so I can use as part of my pre and post assessments. Clickers is a easy and fun way to assess students. Most of the students like to work with technology, so they will not be bored.
