Under these conditions and with the best of intentions, writing instructorsourselves among themface the danger of teaching in ways that ignore the considerable strengths in technological literacies that some students bring to our classes (Hawisher, et al. 35).

I am going to be an educator who does not ignore the strengths in technological literacies that my students bring to our classes.
I want to learn their technological strengths, I want to encourage those strengths, and I want to use those strengths to help them learn and be successful in my class and beyond.

Teach skills, not tools

As a 21st Century educator, I will not use technology only for the sake of technology, I will use technology to enhance the Learning experience of all learners

My Knowledge of analyzing texts and expressing ideas through words My students knowledge and connection with technology Engaged students who develop 21st Century skills and exceed the Common Core Standards for English Language Arts

Technology is always changing so also must our teaching.

I must keep an open mind about what: students are saying about the role of new-media compositions in the world they inhabit; and by expanding their definitions of texts and composing practices to include a range of other behaviors: among them, reading and composing images and animations; creating multimedia assemblages; combining visual elements, sounds, and language symbols into alternatively organized and presented forms of communication in digital environments. (Hawisher, et al. 36)
