21st Century Connected Student & Myself as the Connected Teacher


This is my PLN at the moment. As you can see, I am not as connected as others that I have viewed but it will only continue to grow as I do with technology. Most of the educators I follow and connect with are on twitter and Pintrest.

This is my version of the 21st century connected student. The way students learn today has changed, they read books, study, write, note take listen to music and many other things from some form of technology device. It it different from when I was in school, computers were mainly used to type up a project or paper. As educators we need to embrace their way of learning so that they are engaged in our classrooms, this is the time of the Digital Natives. Today we can connect with people anywhere in the world, and isn't it something to think that we will be able to connect with humans living on Mars in 2025? Who would've thought it would happen that soon, or at all.

    Nice take on these, Shelli. I like how you added globally aware to students. I wonder - does the Internet & social media help this to be true?

    I also mostly connect with other educators on Pinterest and Twitter. When I was in school I only every thought of a computer as a way to word process, and maybe to do some research. I feel like my PLN was quite small, but is growing every year, it is interesting how fast things can change.
