A good teacher is all of these aspects, an adaptor, a communicator, a learner, a visionary, a leader, a model, a collaborator, and a risk taker. I had a teacher this summer who was a wonderful 21st century teacher. He lead the classroom with grace and style, while being able to understand the subject at hand. He collaborate in video slide shows about organisms from chemistry, as well as different movies involving different chemical reactions. He even showed us his Second Life character which had some friends and showed the class its collection of chemical molecules. It definitely kept the class entertained for three hours.
I am glad to see that professor's are stepping up to using technology to enhance their lessons.
