I’ve been reading blogs and subscribing to blogs for some time now. I find blogs to be an indispensable resource to teachers wanting to stay on the cusp of the latest trends and innovations in education.

Information and Communication Technologies have the potential to transform the educational experience for students and teachers. We now have instant access to all of the world’s information. Should this impact education? Of course it should. It should make us think about the very purpose of educating tomorrow’s leaders. When people have instant access to any kind of information, should we continue to focus on training our students to memorize facts? Or should we show our students how to use this information to create new learning experiences, to solve problems and to become contributors to a world-wide community of learners?

iTeacher aims to to just that. It will challenge you to think about the very purpose of education. It will empower you to use ICTs to transform your classroom into a 21st century learning environment where the student discovers, creates, publishes and actively participates in the acquisition of new knowledge. These are exciting times in education, and I want iTeacher to become a place to share our discoveries and improve our teaching. Welcome aboard!
