Digital World : Teachers Today

What made me write this , is the way we, ICT teachers are expected to be ahead of the  ever growing technology. We are the ones who opted for the this challenging field, as it posed great potential for learning and advancement. And so, it happened.. The advancement is an ongoing phenomenon in ICT . However, somewhere, it slowed down and teachers wanted to take a break, as all the other subject teachers do !!! There only, we lagged behind.. and now its all so much more technical and complicated.. or so it seems.. that we really have to refresh our knowledge, by all means.

Being a teacher, why not start with our natural ingredients of patience and friendliness to our students? Lets be more close to them and help them do and discover great things of ICT.

Here is this interesting video I chose to illustrate our role in future ICT education... Lets watch, enlighten ourselves and step forward, without looking back !!!
