Anatomy of A Great Teacher
After publishing the 22 signs of a true teacher one of my readers here shared with me this awesome infographic entitled The Anatomy of A Great Teacher and after going through it I found it really worth sharing with you here. I have posted several graphics whose topical theme is teachers and I highly appreciate such kinds of work because teachers do deserve more. A great teacher changes the lives of their students forever; they instill confidence and knowledge in every student who crosses their path. What makes a great teacher, and how do they treat their students and their classroom? Source: Top Teaching Colleges
61 Educational Apps For The 21st Century Student
It’s not entirely clear what it means to be a “21st century student.” And in 2013, it’s also not entirely clear what the definition of an “educational app” might be. Just as students are no longer tethered to textbooks (in most formal education settings), apps that are strictly didactic–designed to promote academic proficiency and foundational fluency–are often the first that parents and teachers reach for when looking for something “constructive.” But the reality is, the 21st century is as much about finding, evaluating, managing, sharing, and curating information as it is reading texts, answering questions, and applying memorized formulas to neatly scaffolded problems. So, critical thinking and transfer over accuracy and recall. In that context, what are often thought of as “productivity apps” are not only “educational,” but are often the real marrow of 21st century learning. Which is probably not a coincidence, and what makes the following list by Michael Hyatt useful.

The 12 Must-Have Skills Of Modern Learners
If you consider yourself a modern learner and take advantage of modern technology in order to improve yourself, then you probably have some or most of these characteristics. If you use technology to bolster your understanding of a particular topic, use critical thinking and problem-solving skills to tackle tough questions, or simply collaborate across networks (online and in-person), then you’ve got some of the skills of modern learners.

Cool Graphic on Learning in The 21st Century
As I was checking the backlinks to Educational Technology and Mobile Learning I came across this resource from ISDIPED. The resource is basically a syllabus somebody designed for teaching about Media Selection. It really impresses me how well-structured and properly referenced it is. More specifically I liked the table featuring the difference between traditional learning and 21st century learning; something I have talked about in depth in my 21st Century Skills Teachers should Have post. I am sharing it with you below together with the quotation I came across in that PDF. Just to let you know , I am working now on an e-Book on The 21st Century Learning which I will share with my readers here in Educational Technology and Mobile Learning once it is ready.

The 5 Important Elements of The 21st Century Classroom
Technology is radically transforming the way education is delivered and part of this transformation is taking place right inside our classrooms. From the ancient one-room school to the 20th century classroom where we have been taught, the classroom, as a pedagogical concept, has never witnessed such a transformational revolution as is the case now with the uptake of digital technology.And guess what this is only the beginning. The pace with which technology is developing makes it really impossible for anyone to predict what kind of classrooms we will have in the next few decades. What is apparent, however, is the fact that new ways of learning are mushrooming here and there as a direct impact of the embrace of this technology in education. Mobile learning, blended learning, flipped classroom, to mention but a few, are some immediate examples that come to the surface when talking about this interactional relationship between the digital and the educational.
