Teacher Blog- Role of the teacher

Role of the teacher changing?
Teacher-related blog

The role of the teacher is changing in many ways. At Cool Cat Teacher Blog, I found articles correlated with the focus of a flat classroom. This was interesting information to read, about efforts from educators around the globe towards an open model that promotes authentic assessment, project-based learning, differentiated instruction, authentic research, technology skills, and collaboration on a global basis. There is a need for funding and organizations such as Elluminate, are linking up to make this project possible. There are sites to volunteer at for flat classroom projects. I think that the teacher must adapt to new changes and be flexible as they encounter new information. The teacher must study, research, and be a life-long learner in order to share new ideas and have current information for students to process. The teacher must be enthusiastic and passionate about learning new things, and I truly believe that the students will share/take part in the enthusiasm too.

Teacher blog- Internet Safety (Cool Cat Teacher Blog)
I came across some internet safety tips to equip students with as they explore cyberspace. The more safety tips and cautioning that students have as they use the internet, the less students will be at risk. The tips included are:
1) Stop
2) Screenshot
3) Block
4) Tell
5) Share
Emphasizing these online safety tips will better equip students with the essential skills they need guard themselves with, as they potentially face many threats, including cyberbullying.
