"It's Not About The Technology"

This is a great post. I wish there was more people in the teaching profession that shared Mrs. Hines passion. Knowing that teaching comes from so many different aspects is something that every teacher needs to be completely aware of. A teacher can not simply rely on technology to do their job for them. And the teachers need to keep in mind the basics of teaching that were intact long before there were so many technological advances.
Mrs. Hines makes four excellent points that every teacher needs to remember:
1. Teachers must be learners
2. Learning and Teaching Are Not The Same Thing
3. Technology is Useless Without Good Teaching
4. Be a 21st Century Teacher without the technology.

Although there are many others these four points are essential to good teaching and every teacher (new or old) needs to always keep them in mind.

  1. I am not sure you can be a 21st century teacher without the technology. Technology is what defines the 21st century.
