21st century teachers have to adapt to change quite quickly. In our world today we are being controlled by technology but luckily we have found a way to put it to good use. Today we have found many ways to implement technology in our classrooms and lessons. Now many people may disagree with this "new way" of learning saying students don't get all the information they need. Let us stop for a minute and think about it this way... You are a teacher with 20 students how are you going to answer all 20 questions thrown your way? Especially if students don't seem to understand no matter how hard you try to explain. With this new technology implementation students now have the freedom to look for answers themselves. They can now have resources which were not available before right at their fingertips. This way they can truly try to understand what it is they need help understanding. This way the teacher isn't the only source of information or knowledge. Since we are all so reliant on technology incorporating it into our education is a great way to get students motivated. They already use this stuff on a daily basis so using it to learn is a great way for them to do something they are use to doing. Teachers in today's world have to get to know their students. You see everyone learns differently some may be a more hands on learner while others may be auditory learners. Teachers have to know how to make a lesson to where every student can understand the material. We also have to understand students are effected by many factors not just their learning styles. An example would be world wide changes like climate change or social issues. You see students are now socially connected with each other all around the world. Using technology to connect with people around the world gives students a chance to learn new things about different cultures and beliefs. Another great thing that is being implemented is getting real life experience in a career students may want to do. Now you can be an inter at a school,office,or anything you want. This world and our educational system is changing rapidly. Being a 21st century teacher may be hard to adjust to at first but that does not mean it can't be done. We are adjusting our world and learning styles to become the best they can be.
