What is the teacher's role in keeping abreast of technology advancements that are shaping our society? Should teachers follow business technology blogs and magazines? I follow some blogs, some educator technology groups on Diigo: http://groups.diigo.com/groups/classroom20, http://groups.diigo.com/groups/discovery-educator-network, and http://groups.diigo.com/groups/infusEDtech and subscribe to Wired magazine. Some weeks I'm too overwhelmed to read all that comes my way. What is our responsibility in this regard?

I have just started a class on the 21st Century Classroom and from the evidence we have read so far the answer to your question in Yes! Although extremely overwhelming it will be, we as teachers must move with the times. Technology is the future of our classrooms and it starts in elementary school. I have a 7th grade son and statistics show that the job he will have as a career probably doesn't even exist today! That's crazy. Thanks for you blog. Its nice to see that others are as concerned as I am about the future of our children.
