9 Digital Learning Tools Every 21st Century Teacher Should Be Able To Use

9 Digital Learning Tools Every 21st Century Teacher Should Be Able To Use | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"The 21st century is a time of rapid change, and while the brain may not be changing (much), the tools we use to feed it are.

This puts the 21st century teacher in a critical spot–of mastering constantly evolving technology and digital learning tools–the same tools their students use every day.

So below, we’ve started with 9 such tools, but this is obviously just scratching the surface. This list is not meant to be exhaustive (obviously), or even authoritative (but rather, subjective)."

Beth Dichter's insight:

Each tool listed is described and there is an explanation that discusses why a 21st century teacher should be able to use the tool. Tools include Evernote, RSS or Social Readers, Google+ Community, YouTube, iTunesU, Cloud-Based Word Processors, DropBox, Evernote, Pocket and Zotero. 

Are there tools you think are necessary for teachers to master?
