21st Century Teachers

Becoming a "21st Century Teacher" definitely includes being updated in the technology world,without a doubt. The use of technology also allows people to become educators through online colleges; the use of technology has impacted education in every aspect. Children of different age groups own an electronic device that they carry around to almost every place, including their schools.  But for teachers the big question is "How can we incorporate technology into our lesson plans and into our classrooms?". For young, modern teachers it is very easy, but for older, traditional teachers it's quite challenging. In the article "15 characteristics of a 21st Century Teacher" it is written that technology is a way for teachers to have effective communication with some of their students but does not include all students, and the goal of a teacher is to reach to all of her/his students. In order to make this happen teachers need to put a hold on technology and try to identify the different learning styles that are present in their classrooms. 

I believe the use of technology is being implemented into education way too fast, some students are not ready to step out of their comfort zone and change the way they learn. For some students technology is the path they prefer to go through when learning, but their is still some students that rather have books to learn from. Every student matters!
