A Path to Becoming a 21st Century Literate Educator — Self Development

1. Find two or more other educators in your school who are interested in learning and using emerging information and communication technologies. It would be of enormous advantage if you can include your schools library media specialist.
2. Identify the appropriate person in your school or district who can provide technical support and configuration for your increasingly utilized computers and network. Bake them some chocolate chip cookies.
3. Identify some edu-bloggers who are talking about the emerging ICTs you are considering. See the Bloggers to Learn From wiki, contributed to by a world community of educators.
4. Delegate! Assign each member of your team some of the selected blogs to follow, and share specific posts with each other.
5. Read, study, and discuss books about teaching and learning and the world we’re doing it in. See the Books to Learn From. wiki, contributed to by a world community of educators.
6. Schedule regular meetings (once or twice a month) at a local restaurant, coffee shop, or pizzeria (preferably with WiFi). Meet and discuss what you’ve learned and what you want to learn.
7. Start a group del.icio.us (A social bookmarks service) account for organizing and sharing web resources.
8. Start a wiki for posting notes, links, and step-by-step instructions.
9. Join one or more of the Ning social networks, such as: School 2.0, Library 2.0, Classroom 2.0.
10. Start your own blogs for sharing your reflections on what you are learning and how you are learning it.
11. Start experimenting in your class and share the results.
12. Share your results with other teachers in your school and Invite them into your conversation.

Start to model, in your job as a teacher, the practice of being a master learner.

该列表教给老师如何通过自我发展成为21世纪的教育家。其中的一些内容并不一定适合国内教师，但其基本素质的要求是相通的，我试着将它们转化为适合老师在国内的教育环境中进行实践。

1. 寻找榜样和同好。学生找导师、老师找榜样，进入某一新领域之前找到引路人是十分关键的。问题是怎么找呢？国内的教育现状里这种类型的榜样并不多，那么我们就需要聚合榜样，这样才有可能最大化发挥少数人的力量。因此，新型教育社区——益学会——的存在就至关重要了。
2. 技术支持。原文建议在教师所在学校寻找技术支持，这比找到榜样和同好更难。为什么呢？因为互联网时代的技术日新月异，只会捣鼓局域网的学校网管已经无法胜任新时代的基本要求，问他们还不如问Google。我的观点是，教师不必为技术发愁，面向用户的技术的天职就是适应用户，而非让用户适应技术。那么，一个提供技术支持的环境——新型教育社区——的存在就至关重要了。
3. 跟踪学习教育博客。国外的教育博客已经形成了大气候，国内呢？在我眼里还是一片空白。益学会正努力引进国外的新鲜教育观念和资讯，但如果没有国内教育者的参与，成效也就大不了。那么如何参与呢？我的建议是，”多读多写”。多读些国外的教育原文，益学会在wiki和工作平台中推荐了不少，还有danny的阅读分享里也有很多第一手的内容，不要等着别人的翻译。多写一些现有的教学体验，我深刻体验到了作为学生在现有教育环境中的感受，但对教师自身的感受，外界的评论都只是想像，肯定是不准确的。写出生活，是能够获得更好生活的前提。

家里来人了，明天继续。
