Remembering, Creating

It’s time we ask ourselves;

Are we doing what is best for

our students or are we

doing what’s most convenient

for us?

For doing the

best, we

need to;

Embrace the 21st century

learner

Let go of control

Explore emerging

tools

Engage with our learners

And celebrate the

potential!!!

Learn to be the

“Guide on the

side” instead of

“Sage on the

stage”

Become successful
