• Time for upgrade – 20 ways to become Teacher 2.0 | The Teacher Chronicles

  Why should I upgrade to Teacher 2.0?
  To this I have five major answers:

  1) Because most of your students are upgraded
  2) Because the curriculum asks you to
  3) Because it will help you
  4) Because you are supposed to prepare for and educate the future. How can you do that if you work in the past?
  5) Because everything else does

  If these five answers won’t convince you I regret to say that you are hopelessly living in the past still being a Teacher 1.0. But there is hope!
