The Connected Educator: It Begins with Collaboration | Edutopia
Are you a connected educator? Here are some ways to tell
-
A connected educator:
- Believes in sharing and collaboration
- Uses technology and its connection to other educators to learn and teach
-
- Practices and models lifelong learning, which is often a concept professed to students as a goal of education
-
- Uses the tools of technology to personalize his or her professional development
-
- Is a relevant educator, willing to explore, question, elaborate, and advance ideas through connections with other educators
-
- If not comfortable with new technology, still shows a willingness to explore its use
-
- Views failure as part of the process of learning
-
- May put creation over content, and relevance over doctrine.
-
The real commonality of connected educators is their use of technology to collaborate in the pursuit of lifelong learning.
