Another word for teacher should me model, no, not the runway kind but the kind that is a representation of how something is done. All teachers must model for students how to do a project. You should not just ask a student to do something without first showing them how it is correctly done. In a digital-age classroom, this is crucial. Students must know how to use a computer and how to get on the internet and know so many different things before beginning to work in a digital-age classroom. Teachers have to be fluent in technological systems and be able to easily demonstrate how to use them before even beginning to teach the students. It is very important for teachers to also stay updated on the latest bits of technology information.
Teachers can easily use technology to collaborate with students and parents and allow students to work with other students like by having a classroom website. Students would love being able to help update the classroom website and parents usually love staying involved in the classroom and using digital-age technology to do so is a perfect and easy way to accomplish this. Classroom websites are a great way to share all sorts of information with parents and/or students. Blogging is another great way to communicate through the digital world. It is an ideal way to model and facilitate how to use a current digital tool to communicate.
