If you don’t know where you want to go, how will you know when you get there?

Technology has changed the way we work, play and have relationships. Has it changed the way we teach? As a 21st century educator, how can I incorporate digital technologies, emerging technologies that challenge and engage my students, yet are pedagogically and curricular appropriate?

Some of those who have helped me on my journey to become an effective 21st century educator:

John Taylor Gatto http://www.johntaylorgatto.com/ 

Loved, loved, loved his book The Underground History of American Education.

Alan November http://novemberlearning.com/y

One of his keynotes greatly influenced how I view technology.

Doug Johnson http://www.doug-johnson.com/

Don Tapscott http://grownupdigital.com/

Marc Prensky http://www.marcprensky.com/

I particularly like his article “BackUp Education”.

More ideas for using IPODs, MP3s, etc. in school than I could ever implement.
